3.5 Parallel lines and Triangles
Parallel lines help with triangle postulates. 55° 87° 38°
Triangle Sum Theorem All interior angles of a triangle add to 180°.
Ex 1 X= 87° 38° x°
Ex 2 X=____ ∠A=_____ ∠B=_____ A x+3° 22° x°+11 C B
Ex 3 If all three interior angles of a triangle have the ratio1:2:3 Draw the picture . Then find all angles.
Triangles have exterior angles. Angle M is an exterior angle. m
Exterior Angle Theorem Any exterior angle is equal to the sum of the non-connected interior angles. ∠1+ ∠2= ∠3 3 1 2
Ex 4 Find angle M. and x x 65° m 75°
