2.4 How Can I Use It? Pg. 16 Angles In a Triangle
2.4 – How Can I Use It?_____________ Angles In a Triangle So far in this chapter, you have investigated the angle relationships created when two lines intersect, forming vertical angles. You have also investigated the relationships created when a transversal intersects two parallel lines. Today you will study the angle relationships that result when three non-parallel lines intersect, forming a triangle.
2.23 – ANGLE RELATIONSHIPS Marcos decided to study the angle relationships in triangles by making a tiling. Find the pattern below.
a. Color in one of the angles with a pen or pencil. Then use the same color to shade every angle on the pattern that is equal to the shaded angle.
b. Repeat this process for the other two angles of the triangle, using a different color for each angle in the triangle. When you are done, every angle in your tiling should be shaded with one of the three colors.
c. Now examine your colored tiling. What relationship can you find between the three different-colored angles? You may want to focus on the angles that form a straight angle. What does this tell you about the angles in a triangle?
"If a polygon is a triangle, then the sum of the interior angles is ___________" 180°
d. Let us see if this works for any triangle. Each team member will cut out a different type of triangle: isosceles, scalene, right, or obtuse. Rip off the angles of the triangle and put them together to form a straight line. Do these three angles all add to 180°?
e. How can you convince yourself that your conjecture is true for all triangles? Match the reasons to the proof below to show that the sum of the interior angles of any triangle adds to 180°.
Alternate interior = Alternate interior = Supplementary substitution
2.26 – TRIANGLE ANGLE RELATIONSHIPS Use your proof about the angles in a triangle to find x in each diagram below.
x + 40 + 80 = 180 2x + x + 12 + 96 = 180 3x + 108 = 180 x + 120 = 180 x = 60° 3x = 72 x = 24°
All sides are congruent CLASSIFICATION BY SIDES
leg leg 2 sides congruent CLASSIFICATION BY SIDES base
No sides are congruent CLASSIFICATION BY SIDES
All angles are congruent CLASSIFICATION BY ANGLES
All angles are acute CLASSIFICATION BY ANGLES
hypotenuse leg One right angle CLASSIFICATION BY ANGLES leg
One obtuse angle and 2 acute angles CLASSIFICATION BY ANGLES
Classify the triangle by the best definition based on sides and angles. scalene right
equilateral equiangular
isosceles obtuse
2.27 – TRIANGLE SUM THEOREM What can the Triangle Angle Sum Theorem help you learn about special triangles?
a. Find the measure of each angle in an equilateral triangle. Justify your conclusion. 180° 3 60° 60° 60°
b. Consider the isosceles right triangle at right. Find the measures of all the angles. 180 – 90 2 45° 45°
c. What if you only know one angle of an isosceles triangle? For example, if what are the measures of the other two angles? 180 – 34 2 34° 73° 73°
d. Use the fact that when the triangle is isosceles, the base angles are congruent to solve for x and y.
2(22)+11 55 55 2x + 11 3x – 11 = 2y + 110 = 180 x – 11 = 11 2y = 70 x = 22 y = 35
28 9x – 8 = 9x = 36 x = 4
2.28 –EXTERIOR ANGLE OF TRIANGLES a. Compare the interior and exterior angle of the following triangles at right. What do you notice?
70° 55°
Exterior Angle of a Triangle a d b c c+d = 180 a+b+c = 180 a+b+c = c+d a+b = d
x 50 + 70 = 120 = x
6(15) + 30 120° 6x + 30 5x + 45 = 45 = x + 30 15 = x
2.29 – ANGLE AND LINE RELATIONSHIPS Use your knowledge of angle relationships to answer the questions below. a. In the diagram at right, what is the sum of the angles x and y? 180°
b. While looking at the diagram below, Rianna exclaimed, "I think something is wrong with this diagram." What do you think she is referring to? Be prepared to share your ideas.
Yes, 112° + 68° = 180°
d. Write a conjecture based on your conclusion to this problem. "If the measures of same-side interior angles are __________________, then the lines are _____________." supplementary parallel
e. State the angle relationship shown. Then find the value of x that makes the lines parallel.
Alternate interior 4x – 10 = 3x + 13 x – 10 = 13 x = 23
corresponding 8x – 14 = 7x + 2 x – 14 = 2 x = 16
Consecutive interior 20x – 2 + 6x = 180 26x – 2 = 180 26x = 182 x = 7
Alternate exterior 6x + 17 = 143 6x = 126 x = 21
