Row Game Practice! -Each row is a team -Everyone gets a white board and marker -I will check first person’s answer. If it’s correct, your team gets 7 points! -If first person’s answer is not correct, I will check everyone else’s in your row. Each correct answer is 1 point for your team. -Switch seats so everyone gets a chance to be the 1st person -Winning team gets candy!

Find the values of a and b that yields congruent triangles
Quick Review! Given ABC is a triangle, find the measure of each angle. Then classify the triangle by its angles and sides. mA = 2x + 5°, mB = 3x – 15° and m C = 4x + 1o° Right Isosceles
Quick Review! Find the measure of the exterior angle. 120°
