CHAPTER 3: PARALLEL LINES AND PLANES Section 3-4: Angles of a Triangle
TRIANGLES • A triangle is a figure formed by three segments that join three non-collinear points. • The three non-collinear points of triangles are known as vertices (plural for vertex). • The three segments that form the triangle are known as sides.
TRIANGLES Triangle QRS is shown ( QRS): • Vertices: points Q, R, and S • Sides: QR, RS, and SQ • Angles: Q, R, and S. Q S R
CLASSIFYING TRIANGLES Triangles can be classified by the number of congruent sides it has. Scalene Isosceles Equilateral TriangleTriangleTriangle No sides congruent. At least 2 sides All sides congruent. congruent.
CLASSIFYING TRIANGLES Triangles can also be classified by their angles. • Acute (3 acute angles): • Obtuse (1 obtuse angle): • Right (1 right angle): • Equiangular (All angles congruent):
AUXILIARY LINE Definition: An auxiliary line is a line, ray, or segment, that is added to a diagram to help derive information for proofs. We will use an auxiliary line in the proof for Theorem 3-11.

THEOREM 3-11 & Corollaries Theorem 3-11:The sum of the measures of the angles of a triangle is 180. Corollary 1: If two angles of one triangle are congruent to two angles of another triangle, then the third angles are congruent.
3-11 COROLLARIES Corollary 2: Each angle of an equiangular triangle has measure 60. Corollary 3: In a triangle, there can be at most one right angle or obtuse angle. Corollary 4: The acute angles of a right triangle are complementary.
