Definition Exterior Angle: an angle formed by the side of a polygon and an extension of a side. http://www.freemathhelp.com/images/lessons/exterior1.gif
Definition Remote Interior Angle: the two nonadjacent interior angles to an exterior angle. http://www.freemathhelp.com/images/lessons/exterior1.gif
Theorem 2-2 Exterior 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: Example: A triangle with two congruent sides. Example:
Scalene Triangles Definition: Example: 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: Example: A triangle whose angles are all acute. Example:
Right Triangles Definition: A triangle with one right angle. Example:
Obtuse Triangles Definition: Example: A triangle with one obtuse angle. Example:
Classify the triangle by its sides and its angles. The three sides of the triangle have three different lengths, so the triangle is scalene. One angle has a measure greater than 90, so the triangle is obtuse. The triangle is an obtuse scalene triangle.
