Mix and MatchUse two names to describe this:
It can be proven:Equilateral triangles are always equiangular;And equiangular triangles are always equilateral.
In general, a triangle is named by its vertices.This one is called :
A
BC
Always label clockwise; always go in alphabetical order.
AnatomyWhat are the parts called?
A corner is called a vertex.
Two or more corners are called vertices.
AnatomyWhat are the parts called?
Two sides sharing a common vertex are adjacent.“next to”
Anatomy: LegsRight triangles and isosceles triangles have legs.

Construction workers lay out a right angleIts called the 3-4-5 method.
Interior or Exterior Angles

If you add together all the angles of a triangle,the sum will always be 180 degrees.
TSTTriangle Sum Theorem
In other words…If you know 2 angles of a triangle, you can always find the third.
“Proof”Convincing argument why it must be true.

In a right triangle, the two acute angles add up to 90.
Corollary = a statement easily provenCorollary to the Triangle Sum Theorem
An exterior angle is equal to the sum of the two interior angles not adjacent to it.
