Triangle Inequality Theorem (V1): Students can use this interactive applet to intuitively and informally discover this theorem.
The triangle inequality says a detour is never shorter than going straight. ‖u + v‖ ≤ ‖u‖ + ‖v‖ Equality holds exactly when u and v are parallel and point the same way; in the general case the direct vector u + v is strictly shorter than following u then v. The same statement reappears for real numbers as |a + b| ≤ |a| + |b| and for integrals as |∫f| ≤ ∫|f|, with the reverse form ‖u‖ − ‖v‖ ≤ ‖u − v‖ often the more useful of the two. This single inequality is what makes a distance a distance.

Proof Of The Triangle Inequality
Triangles are among the most fundamental shapes in geometry, and their properties help us understand countless mathematical and real-world concepts. One of the most important properties of triangles is expressed through the Triangle Inequality Theorem — a principle that determines whether three given line segments can form a triangle.
