Is it possible to have a triangle with the following
side measures?
The longest side is opposite the angle with the ________ measure.greatest
The shortest side is opposite the angle with the ________ measure.smallest
Side-Angle Inequality
In a triangle, the longest side is opposite the angle with greatest measure, and the shortest side is opposite the angle with the least measure.
List the sides in order from shortest to longest.
List the angles in order from smallest to greatest measure.
If you extend one side of a triangle from the vertex, you form an exterior angle.
exterior angle
The angle adjacent to the exterior angle.
adjacent interior angle
The two angles that do not have the same vertex as the exterior angle.
remote interior angle
Triangle Exterior Angle Conjecture:
The measure of an exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the measures of the remote interior angles.
