Journal Warm UpDec. 21, 2009 List as many types of triangles as you can think of!
Triangle Vertex Figure formed by 3 segments joining 3 points. Point joining two sides of a triangle. 4.1 Classifying Triangles
Legs Hypotenuse Base On a right triangle: sides which form the right angle. On an isosceles triangle: sides which are congruent. The longest side on a triangle. The non-congruent side in an isosceles triangle. 4.1 Classifying Triangles
Adjacent Sides Two sides sharing a common vertex. 4.1 Classifying Triangles
Equilateral Isosceles Scalene Triangles with 3 congruent sides. Triangle with at least 2 congruent sides. Triangle with no congruent sides. 4.1 Classifying by Sides
Acute Equiangular Right Obtuse Triangle with 3 acute angles. Triangles with 3 congruent angles. Triangle with one right angle. Triangle with one obtuse angle. 4.1 Classifying by Angles

Goals Today • Discuss Classification of Triangles • Define Triangle Theorems • Apply Triangle Theorems
Interior Angles Exterior Angles 1 2 3 4 Angles which are within the triangle. Angles formed when triangle sides are extended. 4.1 More Vocabulary
Triangle Sum Theorem (Thm. 4.1) Exterior Angle Theorem (Thm. 4.2) Corollary to Thm. 4.2 The sum of the interior angles in a triangle is 180º. The measure of an exterior angle equals the sum of the two non-adjacent interior angles. The acute angles of a right triangle are complimentary. 4.1 Theorems
Example 1: Classifying Triangles • By sides: By angles: 20º L 23 J 50º 19 110º K
Example 2: Classifying Triangles b) By sides: By angles: Z 45º 4 5.7 45º X Y
Example 2: Finding Angle Measures a) Find the value of x. (4x-5)º (3x+11)º
Example 2: Finding Angle Measures b) Find the value of y. 2yº 50º
