THEOREM The sum of the measures of the interior angles of any triangle is 180º ▲ Sum = 180. A B C m A + m B + m C = 180 INVESTIGATIVE RESULTS: Triangle Sum Conjecture:
X Y Z 48º 67º Find m Z m Z = m Z = 180 m Z = 65 Ex. 1 m X + m Y + m Z = 180
cºcº aºaº bºbº A C B D 70º Find the values of a, b and c. Find c c + 70 = 90 c = 20º Find a. Use Triangle Sum a + m ADC + c = 180 a = 180 a = 180 a = 70º b = 20º Find b. Use Triangle Sum EX. 2 Ex. 2
7 Use your triangle sum conjecture to calculate the measure of the third angle in each triangle below. Third Angle Conjecture: If two angles of one triangle are equal in measure to two angles of another triangle, then the remaining angles _____________________.
A B C Exterior Angle Theorem The measure of an exterior angle in any triangle equals the sum of the two remote interior angles. x m x = m 1 + m Remote interior angles Exterior angle
GeometryMrs. McConaughy 9 1.Measure the angles of your triangle that you traced. 2.Extend one side of your triangle: 3.Measure that exterior angle
