10.2 Triangles
Objectives Solve problems involving angle relationships in triangles. Solve problems involving similar triangles. Solve problems using the Pythagorean Theorem. 3
Triangle • A closed geometric figure that has three sides, all of which lie on a flat surface or plane. • Closed geometric figures • If you start at any point and trace along the sides, you end up at the starting point. 4
Euclid’s Theorem Theorem: A conclusion that is proved to be true through deductive reasoning. Euclid’s assumption: Given a line and a point not on the line, one and only one line can be drawn through the given point parallel to the given line. 5
Euclid’s Theorem (cont.) Euclid’s Theorem: The sum of the measures of the three angles of any triangle is 180º. 6
Euclid’s Theorem (cont.) Proof: m1 = m2 and m3 = m4 (alternate interior angles) Angles 2, 5, and 4 form a straight angle (180º) Therefore, m1 + m5 + m3 = 180º . 7

Example 1: Using Angle Relationships in Triangles Find the measure of angle A for the triangle ABC. Solution: mA + mB + mC =180º mA + 120º + 17º = 180º mA + 137º = 180º mA = 180º − 137º = 43º 12
Example 2: Using Angle Relationships in Triangles Find the measures of angles 1 through 5. Solution: m1+ m2 + 43º =180º 90º + m2 + 43º = 180º m2 + 133º = 180º m2 = 47º 13
Example 2 continued m3 + m4+ 60º =180º 47º + m4 + 60º = 180º m4 = 180º − 107º = 73º m4 + m5 = 180º 73º + m5 = 180° m5 = 107º 14
Similar Triangles B • △ABC ~ △XYZ iff • Corresponding angles are equal • Corresponding sides are proportional • ∠A = ∠X; ∠B = ∠Y; ∠C = ∠Z • AB/XY = BC/YZ = AC/XZ • If 2 corresponding ∠s of 2 △s are equal, then △s are similar. A C Y X Z

Example 2 6 10--- = ------ x 400 6 • 400 = 10 • x x = 240 x 6 10 400
Similar Triangles • Similar figures have the same shape, but not necessarily the same size. • In similar triangles, the angles are equal but the sides may or may not be the same length. • Corresponding angles are angles that have the same measure in the two triangles. • Corresponding sides are the sides opposite the corresponding angles. 20
Similar Triangles (continued) Triangles ABC and DEF are similar: Corresponding AnglesCorresponding Sides Angles A and D Sides Angles C and F Sides Angles B and E Sides 21
Example 3: Using Similar Triangles Find the missing length x. Solution: Because the triangles are similar, their corresponding sides are proportional: 22
Example 3: Using Similar Triangles Find the missing length x. The missing length of x is 11.2 inches. 23
Pythagorean Theorem The sum of the squares of the lengths of the legs of a right triangle equals the square of the length of the hypotenuse. If the legs have lengths a and b and the hypotenuse has length c, then a² + b² = c² 24
