A right triangle has one right angle. The two sides that form the right angle are perpendicular.
Acute triangle
An acute triangle has three acute angles.
Obtuse triangle
An obtuse triangle has one obtuse angle.
Vertices and Line Segments
A triangle has three vertices and three line segments. Each point is formed by the intersection of two line segments.

Ex. 1:The speed limit sign represents a quadrilateral. Classify the angles formed by the quadrilateral. Determine if any of the sides are parallel or perpendicular. There are 4 right angles, 0 acute angles and 0 obtuse angles. The top and bottom sides are parallel. The left and right sides are parallel. Since there are 4 right angles, the sides that form each right angle are perpendicular. So, there are 4 pairs of perpendicular sides.

42. Thursday – Content Standard
MCC4.G.1 Draw points, lines, line segments, rays, angles (right, acute, obtuse), and perpendicular and parallel lines. Identify these in two-dimensional figures. Tier 2 words Tier 3 Words

43. Essential Question and I can Statements
EQ: How are different ideas about geometry connected? I can draw points, lines, line segments, rays, angles (right, acute, obtuse), and perpendicular and parallel lines. I can identify points, lines, line segments, rays, angles (right, acute, obtuse), and perpendicular and parallel lines in two-dimensional figures.

44. Assessment
Students will sketch a diagram based on the following description:
Should be a combined angle composed of two individual angles.
One of the individual angles should have a measure of 60 degrees.
The combined angle should have a measure of 100 degrees.
Students should label each angle with their measures. They should label the unknown angle measure with a variable, and write an equation than can be used to find the measure of the unknown angle. Then they should find the measure of the unknown angle.

45. Thursday – I Do
An angle can be decomposed, or broken, into non-overlapping parts. The angle measure of the whole is the sum of the angle measures of the part.

46. Thursday – I Do
Ex. 1: Rachel and Dean made a sign out of fabric, like the one being shown, to hang in the school gym. The blue piece has a 35 degree angle. The red piece is attached to the longest side of the side of the blue piece. Together, the pieces form a right angle. What is the angle shown on the res piece? One way: Make a model. Draw a 90◦ angle. Mark off a 35◦ angle. Measure the other angle. The other angle has an angle of 55◦

47. Thursday – I Do
Another Way: Use an equation. The 90◦ angle measure is the sum of two parts. One angle is 35◦. Find the unknown angle measure. Let r represent the unknown angle measure r = 90. We know that we need to get the variable alone. Using what we know about fact families, I can re-write the equation as: 90 – 35 = r. 55 = r So, the angle shown on the red piece measures 55◦.

48. Thursday – I Do
Ex. 2: Find the combined measure of the angle shown. One of the angles is 20◦. The symbol on the other angle shows that it is a right angle. Therefore, it is 90◦. Let a represent the unknown angle measure. a = 20◦ + 90◦ a = 110◦ So, the combined measure of the angle is 110◦.
