| Theorem 5.9 | Any point on the perpendicular bisector of a segment is equidistant from the endpoints of the segment. |
| Theorem 5.10 | Exterior Angle Inequality Theorem: The measure of an exterior angle of a triangle is greater than the measure of either of its remote interior angles. |
| Theorem 5.11 | If one side of a triangle is longer than another side, then the measure of the angle opposite the longer side is greater than the measure of the angle opposite the shorter side. |
| Theorem 5.12 | If one angle of a triangle has a greater measure than a second angle, then the side opposite the greater angle is longer than the side opposite the smaller angle. |
| Theorem 5.13 | In a scalene triangle, the longest side is opposite the largest angle and the largest angle is opposite the longest side. |
| Theorem 5.14 | The perpendicular segment from a point to a line is the shortest segment from the point to the line. |
| Corollary | The longest side of a right triangle is the hypotenuse. |
| Theorem 5.15 | Triangle Inequality Theorem: The sum of the lengths of any two sides of a triangle is greater than the length of the third side. |
| Theorem 5.16 | SAS Inequality Theorem: If two sides of one triangle are congru- ent, respectively, to two sides of a second triangle, and the included angle of the first triangle has a greater measure than the included angle of the second triangle, then the third side of the first triangle is longer than the third side of the second triangle. |
| Theorem 5.17 | SSS Inequality Theorem: If two sides of one triangle are congruent, respectively, to two sides of a second triangle, and the length of the third side of the first triangle is greater than the length of the third side of the second triangle, then the angle opposite the third side of the first triangle has a greater measure than the angle opposite the third side of the second triangle. |
