  2. Geometry 1Unit 4 4.1 Triangles and Angles

  3. Equilateral- all 3 sides are congruent Isosceles- at least 2 sides are congruent Scalene- No sides congruent Classifying Triangles by Sides

  4. Classifying Triangles by Angles Acute Triangle- All angles are less than 90° Obtuse Triangle- 1 angle greater than 90 ° Right Triangle- 1 angle measuring 90°

  5. Classifying Triangles • Example 1 • Name each triangle by its sides and angles A. B. C.

  6. A C B Parts of triangles • Vertex (plural vertices) • The points joining the sides of a triangle • Adjacent sides • Sides sharing a common vertex • Side AB is adjacent to side BC

  7. Exterior angle A Interior angle C B • Interior angle • Angle on the inside of a triangle • Exterior angle • Angle outside the triangle that is formed by extending one side

  8. Triangle Sum Theorem • The sum of the three interior angles of a triangle is 180º

  9. B 1 A C • Exterior Angle Theorem • The measure of the exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the two nonadjacent interior angles. • Example: m∠1=m∠A+ m∠B

  10. Example 2 Find the measure of each angle. 2x + 10 x x + 2

  11. B A C D Example 3 Given that ∠ A is 50º and ∠B is 34º, what is the measure of ∠BCD? What is the measure of ∠ACB?

  12. Hypotenuse Legs Right triangle vocabulary • Legs • Sides that form the right angle • Hypotenuse • Side opposite the right angle

  13. Corollary to the Triangle Sum Theorem • The acute angles of a right triangle are complementary. m∠A+ m∠B = 90°

  14. 13 12 5 Example 4 A. Given the following triangle, what is the length of the hypotenuse? B. What are the length of the legs? C. If one of the acute angle measures is 32°, what is the other acute angle’s measurement?

  15. Legs • The two congruent sides of an isosceles triangle. • Base • The noncongruent side of an isosceles triangle. • Base Angles • The two angles that contain the base of an isosceles triangle. • Vertex Angle • The noncongruent angle in an isosceles triangle.

  16. Vertex Angle Legs Base Angles Isosceles triangle vocabulary Base

  20. Geometry 1Unit 4 4.2 Congruence and Triangles

  21. Congruent Figures • Congruent Figures • Figures are congruent if corresponding sides and angles have equal measures. • Corresponding Angles of Congruent Figures • When two figures are congruent, the angles that are in corresponding positions are congruent. • Corresponding Sides of Congruent Figures • When two figures are congruent, the sides that are in corresponding positions are congruent.

  22. B Q A P C R Congruent Figures • For the triangles below, ∆ABC ≅ ∆PQR • The notation shows congruence and correspondence. • When writing congruence statements, be sure to list corresponding angles in the same order.

  25. Third Angles Theorem • If 2 angles of 1 triangle are congruent to 2 angles of another triangle, then the third angles are also congruent.
