Classifying Triangles & Angles of Triangles Sections 4-1 & 4-2
A triangle is the figure formed by 3 segments joining 3 noncollinear points. Each of the 3 points is a vertex. The segments are the sides. A B C
Classifying Triangles by Sides Scalene Triangle – no sides congruent Isosceles Triangle– At least 2 sides congruent Equilateral Triangle – All sides congruent
Classifying Triangles by Angles 700 500 600 Acute – 3 acute angles Right – 1 right angle 400 Obtuse – one obtuse angle 200 1200 600 Equiangular – all angles congruent 600 600

Angle Sum Theorem • The sum of the measures of the angles of a triangle is 180. 1000 400 400
Third Angle Theorem • If 2 angles of one triangle are congruent to 2 angles of another triangle, then the third angles are congruent.
Corollariesstatements that can be easily proved using a theorem • Each angle of an equiangular triangle has measure 60. • In a triangle, there can be at most one right angle or obtuse angle. • The acute angles of a right triangle are complementary.
Exterior Angle Theorem • The measure of an exterior angle of a triangle equals the sum of the measures of the 2 remote interior angles. Remote interior angles 350 Exterior 750 400
