Applying Triangle Sum Properties
Section 4.1
2
Triangles Triangles are polygons with three sides.
There are several types of triangle: Scalene Isosceles Equilateral Equiangular Obtuse Acute Right
3
Scalene Triangles Scalene triangles do not have any congruent sides.
In other words, no side has the same length. 6cm 3cm 8cm
4
Isosceles Triangle A triangle with 2 congruent sides.
2 sides of the triangle will have the same length. 2 of the angles will also have the same angle measure.
5
Equilateral Triangles
All sides have the same length
6
Equiangular Triangles
All angles have the same angle measure.
7
Obtuse Angle Will have one obtuse angle.
8
Acute Triangle All angles are acute angles.
9
Right Triangle Will have one right angle.
10
Exterior Angles vs. Interior Angles
Exterior Angles are angles that are on the outside of a figure. Interior Angles are angles on the inside of a figure.

Interior or Exterior?

Triangle Sum Theorem (Postulate Sheet)
States that the sum of the interior angles is 180. We will do algebraic problems using this theorem. The sum of the angles is 180, so x + 3x + 56= 180 4x + 56= 180 4x = 124 x = 31
15
Find the Value for X 2x + 15 3x 2x + 15 + 3x + 90 = 180 5x + 105 = 180
16
Corollary to the Triangle Sum Theorem (Postulate Sheet)
Acute angles of a right triangle are complementary. 3x + 10 3x + 10 5x +16 20
17
Exterior Angle Sum Theorem
The measure of the exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the non-adjacent interior angles of the triangle

= y 158 = y
19
2x + 40 = x + 72 2x = x + 32 x = 32
