"The sum of the measures of the angles of a triangle is 180°". In ![]() ![]() In the above triangle the sum of three angles is: 70 + 60 + 50 = 1800 Examples:
Directions: Answer the following questions. 1) Prove triangle sum theorem. 2) Prove the corollary to the triangle sum theorem: The acute angles of a right triangles are complementary. 3) Draw the triangles with the following measures, use a protractor to measure angles : 600-600-600 triangle, 500-700-600 triangle, 400- 500- 900 triangle 300- 600- 900 triangle 450- 450- 900 triangle 200- 500- 1800 triangle 1200- 200- 400 triangle 1400- 100- 300 triangle 1600- 100- 100 triangle 4) Draw 5 triangles and measure the interior angles using a protractor and prove that the sum of the measures is 180 degrees. |
