1
Section 3-4: Parallel Lines and the Triangle Angle-Sum Theorem
2
Objectives To classify triangles and find the measures of their angles. To use exterior angles of triangles.
3
Vocabulary Acute Triangle Right Triangle Obtuse Triangle Equiangular Triangle Equilateral Triangle Isosceles Triangle Scalene Triangle Exterior Angle of a Polygon Remote Interior Angles
4
Theorem 3-12: “Triangle Angle-Sum Theorem” The sum of the measures of the angles of a triangle is 180º
5
Applying the Triangle Angle-Sum Theorem Find the values of the variables.
6
Classification of Triangles According to Angles Acute- All three angles are acute. Right- One angle is a right angle. Obtuse- One angle is an obtuse angle. Equiangular- All three angles are equal
7
Classification of Triangles According to Sides Equilateral- All three sides are congruent. Isosceles- At least two sides are congruent. Scalene- No sides are congruent.
8
Classifying Triangles Classify the triangle according to both its sides and angles. 6 11 10
9
Exterior Angle of a Polygon An exterior angle of a polygon is an angle formed by a side and an extension of an adjacent side. Exterior Angle
10
Remote Interior Angles For each exterior angle of a triangle, the two non-adjacent interior angles are its remote interior angles. Exterior Angle Remote Interior Angles
11
Theorem 3-13: “Triangle Exterior Angle Theorem” The measure of each exterior angle of a triangle equals the sum of its two remote interior angles.
12
Using the Triangle Exterior Angle Theorem Find each angle measure:
