CCSS

3. Converse of the Hinge Theorem:
If two sides of one triangle are congruent to two sides of another triangle, and the included angle of the first triangle is larger than the included angle of the second triangle, then the third side of the first triangle is larger than the third side of the second triangle.
Converse of the Hinge Theorem:
If two sides of one triangle are congruent to two sides of another triangle, and the third side of the first is longer than the third side of the second triangle, then the included angle of the first is larger than the included angle of the second.

13. HEALTH Doctors use a straight-leg-raising test to determine the amount of pain felt in a person’s back. The patient lies flat on the examining table, and the doctor raises each leg until the patient experiences pain in the back area. Nitan can tolerate the doctor raising his right leg 35° and his left leg 65° from the table. Which leg can Nitan raise higher above the table?
Answer: Nitan can raise his left leg higher above the table. If your doctor needed the hinge theorem to figure this out, find another doctor.

Rita’s kite string is at an angle of 65° with the ground. If they are both standing at the same elevation, which kite is higher in the air?
A. Meena’s kite
B. Rita’s kite
