ESSENTIAL QUESTION • How you calculate angle measures in Triangles?
Triangle Sum TheoremTheorem 4.2 • The sum of the measures of the angles of a triangle is 180
Example 1 Find an Angle Measure GivenmA = 43°andmB = 85°, findmC. SOLUTION C has a measure of 52°. ANSWER Check your solution by substituting 52° for mC. 43° + 85° + 52° = 180°
Example 2 Find Angle Measures ∆ABCand ∆ABDare right triangles. SupposemABD =35°. a. b. FindmBCD. FindmDAB. SOLUTION a. mDAB + mABD= 90° mDAB + 35°– 35° = 90° – 35° mDAB= 55° mDAB + mBCD= 90° b. 55°+ mBCD = 90° mBCD= 35°

Exterior Angle Theorem Theorem 4.2 The measure of an exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the measures of the two nonadjacent interior angles.
Example Find an Angle Measure GivenmA = 58°andmC = 72°, findm1. SOLUTION m1= mA + mC = 58° + 72° = 130° 1 has a measure of 130°. ANSWER
