Triangles Geometry Mr. Zampetti Unit 3, Day 1
Today’s Objectives To learn new strategies that will help find the measures of angles in a triangle To learn how to classify triangles
Triangle Activity 1.Draw and cut out a large triangle. 2.Number all three angles of the triangle 3.Tear of the angles 4.Place the 3 angles adjacent to each other to form one angle Compare your results with a partner. Make a conjecture about the sum of the angles of a triangle.
Theorem 2-1 Triangle Angle-Sum Theorem The sum of the measures of the angles of a triangle is 180 .

Definition Exterior Angle: an angle formed by the side of a polygon and an extension of a side.
Definition Remote Interior Angle: the two nonadjacent interior angles to an exterior angle.
Activity! Draw a triangle with an Exterior Angle like this: Measure all of the angles. With a partner, make a conjecture about the exterior angle and the remote interior angles.
Theorem 2-2 Exterior Angle Theorem The measure of each exterior angle of a triangle equals the sum of the measures of its two remote interior angles.

Find the measure of the missing angle
Definition Corollary: a statement that follows directly from a theorem.
Corollary to Theorem 2-2 The measure of an exterior angle of a triangle is greater than the measure of either of its remote interior angles.
Types of Triangles (by sides) Equilateral Isosceles Scalene
Equilateral Triangles Definition: –A triangle with three congruent sides. Example:
Isosceles Triangles Definition: –A triangle with two congruent sides. Example:
Scalene Triangles Definition: –A triangle with no congruent sides. Example:
Types of Triangles (by angle) Equiangular Acute Right Obtuse
Equiangular Triangles Definition: –A triangle with three congruent angles. Example:
Acute Triangles Definition: –A triangle whose angles are all acute. Example:
Right Triangles Definition: –A triangle with one right angle. Example:
Obtuse Triangles Definition: –A triangle with one obtuse angle. Example:
