Lesson 3-3: Triangles Vocab: Equiangular Acute triangle Right triangle Obtuse triangle Equilateral triangle Isosceles triangle Scalene triangle Exterior angle
Angle Sum Theorem The sum of the measures of a triangle is A B C “The measure of angle A plus the measure of angle B plus the measure of angle C equals 180”
Classify by angles Type of triangle PropertyDrawing AcuteAll angles < 90 0 ObtuseOne angle > 90 0 RightOne angle = 90 0
Classify by sides Type of triangle PropertyDrawing ScaleneNo sides = Isosceles 2 or more sides are = Equilateral3 sides =
Hints & suggestions What are the other angles in a… –Obtuse triangle: –Right triangle: Classify using angles & sides –Draw a right, isosceles triangle (use markings!) May have to use the distance formula Acute and add to 90 Acute
Exterior Angle Theorem ► An exterior angle is formed by extending a side outside the triangle Exterior angle Theorem: The measure of an exterior angle is equal to the sum of its remote interior angles. Remote interior angles A B CX And don’t forget…
Example 1-2c Identify the indicated triangles in the figure. a. isosceles triangles b. scalene triangles Answer: ABC, EBC, DEB, DCE, ADC, ABD Answer: ADE, ABE
Example 1-4c Find the measures of the sides of ABC. Classify the triangle by sides. Answer: ; since all 3 sides have different lengths, ABC is scalene.
