What you’ll learn. . . . • How to apply the angle sum theorem • How to recognize exterior angles and apply the exterior angle theorem
Vocabulary • Exterior angle of a triangle • Remote interior angles • Third angle theorem
The Angle Sum Theorem Consider the sum of the angles of a triangle. . . . • The sum of the measures of the angles of a triangle will always be 180°
The Exterior Angle Theorem 2 4 1 3 Exterior Angles will always make a linear pair with an interior angle of a triangle. • Each exterior angle will be associated with 2 remote interior angles (the two angles not connected to that exterior angle).
The exterior angle theorem: Exterior angles and their remote interior angles share a special relationship. • The measure of an exterior angle of a triangle will always be equal to the sum of the measures of its remote interior angles.
Example Problem #5: • Find x and y.
The Third angle Theorem 2 4 1 5 3 6 If two angles of one triangle measure the same as two angles from another triangle, their third angles must also be the same measure.
Example Problem #6: • Find x and y.
