  1. Identifying Triangles Unit 4C-Triangle Geometry • LT7: I can identify different types of triangles based on different measures.

  2. Identifying There are 3 different ways to identify triangles based on information given (angles and sides) 1.) A Unique Triangle 2.) More Than One Triangle 3.) No Triangle

  3. What Is A “Unique” Triangle? A unique triangle means there is ONLY ONE WAY to create the triangle. All unique triangles are congruent (the same) even though you may have to “flip” or “turn” them to line up

  4. Criteria For A Unique Triangle There are certain criteria that must be met in order for a triangle to be considered a unique triangle… 1.) SSS Triangles 2.) SAS triangles with an included angle 3.) ASA triangles with an included side 4.) ASA triangles with a nonincluded side

  5. What Is “More Than One” Triangle? There are certain criteria that must be met in order for more than one triangle to be made with the same given information… 1.) SAS triangles with a nonincluded angle – EXCEPT if the given sides are the same length (isosceles) in which case you will get a unique triangle 2.) AAA Triangles

  6. What Is “No” Triangle? There are certain criteria that if you are given you will NOT be able to create a triangle… 1.) If the sum of all the angles in the triangle do NOT equal 180° 2.) If the sum of 2 of the sides of the triangles is NOT greater than the third side

  7. Let’s Review

  8. Now Let’s Practice

  9. Example 2 • Draw Triangle QRS where Angle r=40°, RQ=12cm, and RS=8cm. Is the triangle unique, more than one, or none?

  10. Example 3

  11. Example 4

  12. Example 5

  13. Example 6

  14. Example 7

  15. Any Questions???????

  16. Your Turn! • Complete the handout individually to assess what you have now learned about creating a unique triangle, more than one triangle, or no triangle. • We will discuss your answers as a class once everyone is finished.
