The parameters most commonly appearing in triangle inequalities are: the side lengths a, b, and c;; the semiperimeter s = (a + b + c) / 2 (half the perimeter p);; the angle measures A, B, and C of the angles of the vertices opposite the respective sides a, b, and c (with the vertices denoted with the same symbols as their angle measures);
For four points in order around a circle, Ptolemy's inequality becomes an equality, known as Ptolemy's theorem: ¯ ¯ + ¯ ¯ = ¯ ¯. In the inversion-based proof of Ptolemy's inequality, transforming four co-circular points by an inversion centered at one of them causes the other three to become collinear, so the triangle equality for these three points (from which Ptolemy's inequality may ...
Bennett's inequality, an upper bound on the probability that the sum of independent random variables deviates from its expected value by more than any specified amount Bhatia–Davis inequality , an upper bound on the variance of any bounded probability distribution
The right side is the area of triangle ABC, but on the left side, r + z is at least the height of the triangle; consequently, the left side cannot be smaller than the right side. Now reflect P on the angle bisector at C. We find that cr ≥ ay + bx for P's reflection. Similarly, bq ≥ az + cx and ap ≥ bz + cy. We solve these inequalities for ...
A linear inequality contains one of the symbols of inequality: [1] < less than > greater than; ≤ less than or equal to; ≥ greater than or equal to; ≠ not equal to; A linear inequality looks exactly like a linear equation, with the inequality sign replacing the equality sign.
In mathematics, an inequation is a statement that an inequality holds between two values. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] It is usually written in the form of a pair of expressions denoting the values in question, with a relational sign between them indicating the specific inequality relation.
San Francisco's Jake Moody missed three field goals Sunday afternoon against Tampa Bay, but made one that he needed to — a 44-yard game-winner as time expired to kick San Francisco to a 23-20 ...
Similarly, 4 √ x 1 x 2 is the perimeter of a square with the same area, x 1 x 2, as that rectangle. Thus for n = 2 the AM–GM inequality states that a rectangle of a given area has the smallest perimeter if that rectangle is also a square. The full inequality is an extension of this idea to n dimensions.
