Warm-Up Exercises EXAMPLE 1 Classifying Triangles

Warm-Up Exercises EXAMPLE 1 Classify triangles by sides and by angles SOLUTION The triangle has a pair of congruent sides, so it is isosceles. By measuring, the angles are 55°, 55°, and 70°. It is an acute isosceles triangle. Support Beams Classify the triangular shape of the support beams in the diagram by its sides and by measuring its angles.

Warm-Up Exercises EXAMPLE 2 Classify a triangle in a coordinate plane SOLUTION STEP 1 Use the distance formula to find the side lengths. Classify PQO by its sides. Then determine if the triangle is a right triangle. OP= y 2 –y 1 ( ) 2 x 2 –x 1 ( ) 2 + = 2–0 ( ) 2 (– 1 ) 0 ( ) 2 + – = OQ= y 2 –y 1 ( ) 2 x 2 –x 1 ( ) = –0 ( )6 0 ( ) 2 + – 3 =

Warm-Up Exercises EXAMPLE 2 Classify a triangle in a coordinate plane PQ= y 2 –y 1 ( ) 2 x 2 –x 1 ( ) 2 + 3– 2( ) 2 6 ( ) 2 + – = (– 1 ) = STEP 2 Check for right angles. The slope of OP is 2 – 0 – 2 – 0 = – 2. The slope of OQ is 3 – 0 6 – 0 = The product of the slopes is – 2 2 = – 1, so OP OQ and POQ is a right angle. Therefore, PQO is a right scalene triangle.

Warm-Up Exercises EXAMPLE 4 Find angle measures from a verbal description ARCHITECTURE The tiled staircase shown forms a right triangle. The measure of one acute angle in the triangle is twice the measure of the other. Find the measure of each acute angle. SOLUTION First, sketch a diagram of the situation. Let the measure of the smaller acute angle be x °. Then the measure of the larger acute angle is 2x °. The Corollary to the Triangle Sum Theorem states that the acute angles of a right triangle are complementary.
