This problem puzzles me. The instructions are to use the theorems that say "The largest/smallest angle is opposite the largest/smallest side", the Triangle Inequality Theorem (2 sides of a triangle added together are greater than the 3rd side), and the Exterior Angle Inequality Theorem, which is...


The measure of an exterior angle of a triangle is greater than the measure of either of the nonadjacent interior angles.

And using any combination of those theorems, we need to explain why the diagram is incorrect.

I came up with the following...


According to the Exterior Angle Inequality Theorem, the exterior angle E can't be congruent to angle D as indicated because the measure of angle E is supposed to be greater than either of the nonadjacent interior angles.

Is that sufficient reasoning? What do you say?

If you feel like helping me with just 1 more, I'd appreciate it. Just PM me.

segment EG is not parallel to DG, whereas the second line segment in both angles is the same line.

r u restricted to using the above mentioned theorems????
bcoz with only the exterior angle theorem we have angle.....
FEG = D+G and so they can't be equal.... ur reasoning seems sufficient rest depends on how much points u r scoring for this question.... also we can't make out which side is greater than which without knowing the specifications of the triangle.... so, ur reasoning should be enough....
