The hinge theorem is a result in triangle geometry. It states that if two sides of one triangle are congruent to two sides of another triangle, and the angle included between those two sides is larger in the first triangle than in the second, then the third side of the first triangle is longer than the third side of the second.

In geometry, the hinge theorem (sometimes called the open mouth theorem) states that if two sides of one triangle are congruent to two sides of another triangle, and the included angle of the first is larger than the included angle of the second, then the third side of the first triangle is longer than the third side of the second triangle.
