4.1 Triangles and Angles Pg 194
Triangles Triangle-figure formed by 3 segments joining 3 noncollinear pts. Triangles are named by these three pts (ΔQRS) Q R S
Classifying Δs by Angles or Sides Angles Acute Obtuse Right Equiangular Sides Scalene Isosceles Equilateral
Each of the three points are vertices Adjacent sides- 2 sides sharing a common vertex Third side is opposite the given vertex. A B C

How can ΔABC be right and isosceles? A B C ____ _____
Interior Angles )) ))) ( A B C
Exterior Angles (formed by extending the sides) ( )) (( D E F An exterior angle and its corresponding interior angle add up to 180 ⁰.
How do we measure an angle with a protractor?
Thm 4.1:Triangle Sum Thm The sum of the measures of the interior angles of a triangle is 180 o. m A + m B+ m C=180 o A BC
Thm 4.2: Exterior Angles Thm The measure of an exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the measures of the 2 nonadjacent interior angles. m 1=m A+ m B 1 A B C
Corollary to triangle sum thm (Corollary- a statement easily proved using a thm.) * The acute angles of a right triangle are complementary. A B C A is comp. to C
