Definition of Triangle A geometric figure formed by three segments joining noncollinear points .
B C A Naming Triangles Triangles are named by using its vertices. For example, we can call the following triangle: ∆ABC ∆ACB ∆BAC ∆BCA ∆CAB ∆CBA
Opposite Sides and Angles Opposite Sides: Side opposite to A : Side opposite to B : Side opposite to C : Opposite Angles: Angle opposite to : A Angle opposite to : B Angle opposite to : C
Equilateral: A A B C C BC = 3.55 cm B BC = 5.16 cm G H I HI = 3.70 cm Classifying Triangles by Sides Scalene: A triangle in which all 3 sides are different lengths. AC = 3.47 cm AB = 3.47 cm AB = 3.02 cm AC = 3.15 cm Isosceles: A triangle in which at least 2 sides are equal. • A triangle in which all 3 sides are equal. GI = 3.70 cm GH = 3.70 cm

Helpful Triangle Information Triangle Sum: The sum of the interior angles in a triangle is 180˚. Third Angle of a Triangle: If two angles of one triangle are congruent to two angles of a second triangle, then the third angles of the triangles are congruent. Fact # 1: Each angle in an equiangular triangle is 60˚. Fact # 2: Acute angles in a right triangle are complementary. There can be at most one right or obtuse angle in a triangle. Fact # 3:
Exterior Angle and Remote Interior Angles Exterior Angle - An angle formed by one side of a triangle and the extension of another side of the triangle. Remote Interior Angles – Interior angles that are not adjacent to the exterior angle of the triangle.
Exterior Angle Theorem The measure of the exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the measures of the remote interior angles. Remote Interior Angles A Exterior Angle Example: Find the mA. B C 3x - 22 = x + 80 3x – x = 80 + 22 2x = 102 mA = x = 51°
