Measures of Angles of a Triangle
The word “triangle” means “three angles”
 When the sides of a triangles are extended,
however, other angles are formed
 The original 3 angles of the triangle are the
interior angles
 The angles that are adjacent to interior angles
are the exterior angles
 Each vertex has a pair of exterior angles

Triangle Sum Theorem
The Triangle Angle-Sum Theorem gives
the relationship among the interior angle
measures of any triangle.
Triangle Sum Theorem
If you tear off two corners of a triangle and
place them next to the third corner, the
three angles seem to form a straight line.
You can also show this in a drawing.
Draw a triangle and extend one side. Then
draw a line parallel to the extended side, as
shown.
The three angles in the triangle can be
arranged to form a straight line or 180°.
Two sides of the
triangle are
transversals to the
parallel lines.
Triangle Sum Theorem
Theorem 4.1 – Triangle Sum Theorem
The sum of the measures of the angles of a
triangle is 180°.

ANSWER C has a measure of 52°.
CHECK Check your solution by substituting 52° for mC. 43° +
85° + 52° = 180°
SOLUTION
mA + mB + mC = 180° Triangle Sum Theorem

Exterior Angles and Triangles
An exterior angle is formed by one side of a
triangle and the extension of another side
(i.e. 1 ).
The interior angles of the triangle not adjacent to
a given exterior angle are called the remote
interior angles (i.e. 2 and 3).
