In this lesson, we will use an important result known as the Triangle Inequality:

|x| + |y| ≥ |x + y|

This inequality shows that the sum of the absolute values of two numbers is always greater than or equal to the absolute value of their sum. In geometry, this means the sum of the lengths of two sides of a triangle is always at least as large as the length of the third side.
