Triangles Triangles are polygons with three sides.
There are several types of triangle: Scalene Isosceles Equilateral Equiangular Obtuse Acute Right

Scalene Triangles Scalene triangles do not have any congruent
sides.
In other words, no side has the same length.

Isosceles Triangle A triangle with 2 congruent sides.
2 sides of the triangle will have the same length.
2 of the angles will also have the same angle measure.
![Page 5: Applying Triangle Sum Properties](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081506/568132b1550346895d9969be/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Equilateral Triangles All sides have the same length
![Page 6: Applying Triangle Sum Properties](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081506/568132b1550346895d9969be/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Equiangular Triangles All angles have the same angle measure.
![Page 7: Applying Triangle Sum Properties](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081506/568132b1550346895d9969be/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Acute Triangle All angles are acute angles.
![Page 8: Applying Triangle Sum Properties](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081506/568132b1550346895d9969be/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Right Triangle Will have one right angle.
![Page 9: Applying Triangle Sum Properties](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081506/568132b1550346895d9969be/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Obtuse Angle Will have one obtuse angle.
![Page 10: Applying Triangle Sum Properties](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081506/568132b1550346895d9969be/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Exterior Angles vs. Interior Angles Exterior Angles are angles that are on the
outside of a figure.
Interior Angles are angles on the inside of a figure.

Triangle Sum Theorem (Postulate Sheet) States that the sum of the interior angles is
180.
We will do algebraic problems using this theorem. The sum of the
angles is 180, so
x + 3x + 56= 1804x + 56= 180
4x = 124x = 31
![Page 15: Applying Triangle Sum Properties](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081506/568132b1550346895d9969be/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Find the Value for X
2x + 15
3x
2x + 15 + 3x + 90 = 180
5x + 105 = 180
5x = 75
x = 15

Corollary to the Triangle Sum Theorem (Postulate Sheet) Acute angles of a right triangle are
complementary.

Exterior Angle Sum Theorem The measure of the exterior angle of a triangle is equal to
the sum of the non-adjacent interior angles of the triangle

Congruent Polygons

Congruent Triangles (CPCTC)
Two triangles are congruent congruent triangles triangles if and only if the ccorresponding pparts of those ccongruent ttriangles are ccongruent.
![Page 24: Applying Triangle Sum Properties](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081506/568132b1550346895d9969be/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Congruence Statement
When naming two congruent triangles, order is very important.
![Page 25: Applying Triangle Sum Properties](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081506/568132b1550346895d9969be/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)

Third Angle Theorem
If two angles of one triangle are congruent to two angles of another triangle, then the third angles are also congruent.
![Page 29: Applying Triangle Sum Properties](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081506/568132b1550346895d9969be/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Congruent Triangles
Checking to see if 3 pairs of corresponding sides are congruent and then to see if 3 pairs of corresponding angles are congruent makes a total of SIX pairs of things, which is a lot! Surely there’s a shorter way!
![Page 30: Applying Triangle Sum Properties](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081506/568132b1550346895d9969be/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Congruence Shortcuts?
Will one pair of congruent sides be sufficient? One pair of angles?

Draw any triangle using any 3 size lines For me I use lines of 5, 4, and 3 cm’s. Now use the same lengths and see if you can
make a different triangle.
Now measure both triangles angles and see what you get.

You know how to use SSS, SAS, ASA, and AAS to show that the triangles are congruent.
Once you have triangles congruent, you can make conclusions about their other parts because, by definition, corresponding parts of congruent triangles are congruent. Abbreviated CPCTC
