FHG is an equilateral (Equiangular) triangle by definition. Teach! Example 1 Classify FHG by its angle measures. EHG is a right angle. Therefore mEHF +mFHG = 90°. By substitution, 30°+ mFHG = 90°. SomFHG = 60°.
By Side Lengths Equilateral Triangle Three congruent sides
By Side Lengths Isosceles Triangle At least two congruent sides
By Side Lengths Scalene Triangle No congruent sides
Remember! When you look at a figure, you cannot assume segments are congruent based on appearance. They must be marked as congruent.
From the figure, . So HF = 10, and EHF is isosceles. Example 1: Classifying Triangles by Side Lengths Classify EHF by its side lengths.
By the Segment Addition Postulate, EG = EF + FG = 10 + 4 = 14. Since no sides are congruent, EHG is scalene. TEACH! : Classifying the Triangle by Side Lengths Classify EHGby its side lengths.
From the figure, . So AC = 15, and ACD is scalene and probably obtuse. TEACH! Example 3 Classify ACD by its side lengths.
Example 3: Using Triangle Classification Find the side lengths of JKL. Step 1 Find the value of x. Given. JK = KL Def. of segs. Substitute (4x – 10.7) for JK and (2x + 6.3) for KL. 4x – 10.7 = 2x + 6.3 Add 10.7 and subtract 2x from both sides. 2x = 17.0 x = 8.5 Divide both sides by 2.
Example 3 Continued Find the side lengths of JKL. Step 2 Substitute 8.5 into the expressions to find the side lengths. JK = 4x – 10.7 = 4(8.5) – 10.7 = 23.3 KL = 2x + 6.3 = 2(8.5) + 6.3 = 23.3 JL = 5x + 2 = 5(8.5) + 2 = 44.5

How many triangles can be formed from 420 feet of steel beam? To find the number of triangles that can be made from 420 feet of steel beam, divide 420 by the amount of steel needed for one triangle. There is not enough steel to complete an eighth triangle. So the steel mill can make 7 triangles from a 420 ft. piece of steel beam.

To find the number of triangles that can be made from 100 inches of steel, divide 100 by the amount of steel needed for one triangle. There is not enough steel to complete a fifteenth triangle. So the manufacturer can make 14 triangles from a 100 in. piece of steel.
TEACH! Example 5 Each measure is the side length of an equilateral triangle. Determine how many 10 in. triangles can be formed from a 100 in. piece of steel. The amount of steel needed to make one triangle is equal to the perimeter P of the equilateral triangle. P = 3(10) P = 30 in.

The interior is the set of all points inside the figure. The exterior is the set of all points outside the figure. Exterior Interior
An interior angle is formed by two sides of a triangle. An exterior angle is formed by one side of the triangle and extension of an adjacent side. 4 is an exterior angle. Exterior Interior 3 is an interior angle.
Each exterior angle has two remote interior angles. A remote interior angle is an interior angle that is not adjacent to the exterior angle. 4 is an exterior angle. The remote interior angles of 4 are 1 and 2. Exterior Interior 3 is an interior angle.
Corollary: The measure of an exterior angle of a triangle is greater than the measure of either of its remote angles.
