It can be proven: Equilateral triangles are always equiangular; And equiangular triangles are always equilateral.
A B C Always label clockwise; always go in alphabetical order.
Anatomy What are the parts called? A corner is called a vertex. Two or more corners are called vertices.
Anatomy What are the parts called? Two sides sharing a common vertex are adjacent. “next to”
Anatomy: Legs Right triangles and isosceles triangles have legs. leg hypotenuse base
Construction workers lay out a right angle Its called the method.
Interior or Exterior Angles Interior Exterior
If you add together all the angles of a triangle, the sum will always be 180 degrees. TST Triangle Sum Theorem In other words… If you know 2 angles of a triangle, you can always find the third.
“Proof” Convincing argument why it must be true.

In a right triangle, the two acute angles add up to 90 . Corollary = a statement easily proven Corollary to the Triangle Sum Theorem
An exterior angle is equal to the sum of the two interior angles not adjacent to it. EAT Exterior Angle Theorem
