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:
5
X Y Z 48º 67º Find m Z 48 + 67 + m Z = 180 115 + m Z = 180 m Z = 65 Ex. 1 m X + m Y + m Z = 180

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 2 1 2 3 Remote interior angles Exterior angle
