  1. Angle Relationships Math Alliance November 30, 2010

  2. Essential Understandings • Some sequences of geometric objects change in predictable ways. • Some angles have special relationships based on their position or measure. • Polygons can be described uniquely by their sides and angles.

  3. Angle Relationships in Triangles • Draw a triangle on a piece of paper. • Find the measure of each of the 3 angles in your triangle. • Compare your angle measures with those of your table group. What patterns or relationships do you observe?

  4. Proving Your Triangle Conjecture • Other than by measuring, how could we prove that the measures of the angles in a triangle add up to 180o?

  5. Method #1: Cut off Corners • Draw a triangle on a notecard. • Cut out the triangle. • Label each vertex of the triangle (close to the vertex) • Cut off the vertices of the triangle. • Put them together. • What do you get?

  6. Method #2

  7. Extend the base • Use the Parallel Postulate (p. 604) • Look at figure 10.22 on p. 605 • What do we know? • What does this tell us? A l 4 2 5 Line l is parallel to line m 1 3 m B C

  8. What About Exterior Angles? • Draw a triangle on a piece of paper. • What is the sum of the angle measures of the 3 exterior angles in your triangle? • Compare your results with those of your table group, and make a conjecture. • How could you prove your conjecture? 1 2

  9. What About the Outside? • On a post-it, write a conjecture for what you think the rule might be for finding the measure of the exterior angles of any polygon. • How might you prove your conjecture?

  10. Sums of Exterior Angles Conjecture: Proofs • Method 1: Cut out exterior angles • Method 2: Walk-and-Turn • Method 3: Use the relation with the sum of the interior angles

  11. Other Polygons • Quadrilaterals • In your groups, draw a quadrilateral. • Measure each angle. • Find the sum of the angle measures. • Record your result. • Repeat with a polygon with more than 4 sides.

  12. What pattern(s) do you notice? • What conjecture can you make? • How could you prove your conjecture?

  13. Summary • There are 3 approaches for determining the measure of the interior angles of a polygon: • Find the triangles with a common vertex at one vertex of the polygon • Find the triangles with a common vertex in the center of the polygon • Walk and Turn

  14. Homework • Section 10.3: #’s 15, 16, 22, 41, 42, 43, 47, 49 • Turn in #’s 15, 16, 42, & 47
