When we open it, we create a triangle. One side is the door, one side is the floor length of the door, and the third side is the opening length. ... This theorem is called the "Hinge Theorem" because it acts on the principle of the two sides described in the triangle as being "hinged" at their common vertex.
What is the meaning of Hinge Theorem?
The Hinge Theorem states that if two sides of two triangles are congruent and the included angle is different, then the angle that is larger is opposite the longer side.

What is Hinge Theorem examples?
The Hinge Theorem states that in the triangle where the included angle is larger, the side opposite this angle will be larger. It is also sometimes called the "Alligator Theorem" because you can think of the sides as the (fixed length) jaws of an alligator- the wider it opens its mouth, the bigger the prey it can fit.
