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 2-1Triangle 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 2-2Exterior Angle Theorem
The measure of each exterior angle of a triangle equals the sum of the measures of its two remote interior angles.

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:
