This document discusses angles of triangles. It defines key terms like interior angles, exterior angles, and corollaries. It presents the Triangle Sum Theorem, which states the sum of the interior angles of any triangle is 180 degrees. It introduces the Exterior Angle Theorem, which states the measure of an exterior angle is equal to the sum of the remote interior angles. Examples are provided to demonstrate using these theorems to find missing angle measures in various triangles.
Measures of Anglesof 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
TheTriangle Angle-Sum Theorem gives
the relationship among the interior angle
measures of any triangle.

Triangle Sum Theorem
Ifyou 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.
10.
Draw a triangleand 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.

Given mA =43° and mB = 85°, find mC.
ANSWER C has a measure of 52°.
CHECK Check your solution by substituting 52° for mC. 43° +
85° + 52° = 180°
SOLUTION
mA + mB + mC = 180° Triangle Sum Theorem
43° + 85° + mC = 180° Substitute 43° for mA and
85° for mB.
128° + mC = 180° Simplify.
mC = 52° Simplify.
128° + mC – 128° = 180° – 128° Subtract 128° from each side.

Exterior Angles andTriangles
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).
