Example 4-1a PLANES An airplane has wings that are shaped like triangles. Find the missing measure. 1/4 The sum of the measures is Add angles together x0x Remember: sum = = 180 0

Example 4-1a PLANES An airplane has wings that are shaped like triangles. Find the missing measure. 1/4 Bring down x 0 x0x = x0x0 Combine “like” terms Bring down = = Ask “what is being done to the variable?” The variable is being added by Do the inverse on both sides of the equal sign

Example 4-1a PLANES An airplane has wings that are shaped like triangles. Find the missing measure. 1/4 x0x = x0x = Bring down x x Subtract Bring down = = Subtract Bring down x 0 x0x0 Combine “like” terms Bring down = =

Example 4-1a PLANES An airplane has wings that are shaped like triangles. Find the missing measure. 1/4 x0x = x0x = x = x0x0 Combine “like” terms = 21 0 Use the Identify Property to add x x = 21 0 Answer:

Example 4-1b SEWING A piece of fabric is shaped like a triangle. Find the missing measure. Answer: x = 49  1/4 x 

Example 4-2a ALGEBRA Find m  A in  ABC if m  A m  B and m  C 80 . Draw the triangle 2/4 Define m  A as x m  A  m  B x

Example 4-2a ALGEBRA Find m  A in  ABC if m  A m  B and m  C 80 . 2/4 Since m  A is x and m   m  B then B can also be x x x + x = 2x 2 The sum of the measures is 180 0

Example 4-2a ALGEBRA Find m  A in  ABC if m  A m  B and m  C 80 . 2/4 Add 80 0 for the m  C x Put the = since this is the sum 2 Solve for the unknown = 180 0

Example 4-2a ALGEBRA Find m  A in  ABC if m  A m  B and m  C 80 . 2/4 x = Ask “what is being done to the variable term (2x)?” The variable term is being added by 80 0 Do the inverse on both sides of the equal sign Bring down 2x x Subtract Bring down = = Subtract

Example 4-2a ALGEBRA Find m  A in  ABC if m  A m  B and m  C 80 . 2/4 x = x = Bring down 2x Combine “like” terms 2x Bring down = = Combine “like” terms Use the Identify Property to add 2x x = Ask “what is being done to the variable?” The variable is being multiplied by 2

Example 4-2a ALGEBRA Find m  A in  ABC if m  A m  B and m  C 80 . 2/4 x = x = x = x = Do the inverse on both sides of the equal sign Bring down 2x = x = Using the fraction bar, divide both sides by Combine “like” terms 1  x = 50 0 Use the Identify Property to multiply 1  x x = 50 0 Since you defined m  A as x and x = 50 0 then m  A = 50 0 m  A = 50 0 Answer:

Example 4-2b ALGEBRA Find m  J in  JKL if m  J m  K and m  L 100 . Draw the triangle then solve Answer: m  J = 40  2/4

Example 4-3a Classify the triangle by its angles and its sides. Obtuse All triangles have 3 names First, middle and last (just like you) First: classify angle 3/4 One angle greater than 90 0 meets the definition of obtuse angle

Example 4-3a Classify the triangle by its angles and its sides. Obtuse Next, classify by sides 3/4 2 sides congruent meets the definition of isosceles Isosceles All triangles have the last name as “triangle” Triangle Answer:

Example 4-3b Classify the triangle by its angles and its sides. Answer: Right Scalene Triangle 3/4

Example 4-4a Classify the triangle by its angles and its sides. 4/4 All triangles have 3 names First, middle and last (just like you) First: classify angle All angles are less than 90 0 meets the definition of acute angle Acute

Example 4-4a Classify the triangle by its angles and its sides. 4/4 Acute Next, classify by sides No sides have a congruent symbol so meets the definition of scalene Scalene All triangles have the last name as “triangle” Triangle Answer:

Example 4-4b Classify the triangle by its angles and its sides. Answer: Acute Equilateral Triangle * 4/4
