 Objective: we will be able to classify triangles by their angles and by their sides. A B C The vertices of a triangle are labeled with upper case letters. The sides are ____, ____, & _____ All s have at least two __________ but the third is used to classify the Classify s by Angles Classify s by Sides Has ___ that is a right (90 degrees). An ______________ is a special kind of _______________. acute right acute obtuse scaleneisosceles equilateral equiangular isosceles

Q R S Example 1: Find x and the measure of each side of equilateral triangle QRS, if QR = 4x, RS = 2x + 1, and QS = 6x – 1. Example 2: Find the measures of the sides of LMN. L(4, 4), M(-1,-3), & N(8, -1) Classify the triangle by its sides. x = ½ ; sides = 2

 Objective: we will be able to apply the Angle Sum Theorem and the Exterior Angle Theorem to find the measures of angles in a triangle. “Angle Sum Theorem” The sum of the measures of the angles of a = _____ a b c When the measures of 2 of the angles are known, how can we find the measure of the 3 rd angle? a + b + c = _____ a b a + b = _____ Example: Look at proof page 185 “Third Angle Theorem” A B C D E F A B C D E F

Proof Puzzle Directions: 1. Copy the Given and Prove statements from the envelope onto your sheet. 2. Copy the diagram (using a ruler) and label the drawing according to the given information. 3. Read what 2 triangles you are trying to prove are congruent. 5. Concentrate on 3 sides or a side-angle-side correspondence. 6. Once you think you have the proof arranged, raise you hand to get it checked, and then copy it onto your note sheet.
