A B C X Y Z An included side is the side between two consecutive angles. An included angle is an angle between two consecutive sides.
Theorem 6.16 The sum of the measures of the angles of any triangle is 180°.
Theorem 6.17 If two angles of one triangle are congruent to two angles of another triangle, then the third angles are also congruent.

Theorem 6.18 The acute angles of a right triangle are complementary. M
To find the total measure of the angles of a polygon: 1. Subdivide the polygon into triangles. 2. Multiply the number of triangles by 180°. 5(180) = 900°
