4.1 Apply Triangle Sum Properties Objectives: • To classify triangles by sides and angles • To find the measures of the interior and exterior angles of a triangle
Polygons A closed plane figure is a polygon if it is formed by 3 or more line segments (sides), joined endpoint to endpoint (vertices) with each side intersecting exactly two others.
3-D Rendering 3-D rendering in digital graphics is based upon polygons.
Vocabulary In your notebook, define each of these types of triangles without your book. Draw a picture for each word and leave a bit of space for additions and revisions. Classified by Sides Classified by Angles
Interior vs. Exterior Angles All the angles inside the triangle are called interiorangles. If you extend the sides of the triangle, then the angles that form a linear pair with the interior angles are called exterior angles.
Investigation 1 Click on the button to investigate the Triangle Sum Theorem.
Triangle Sum Theorem The sum of the measures --?--. Click the arrow buttons to watch the Flash animation of the Triangle Sum Theorem. Write and complete this statement in your notebook
