Interior VS Exterior Angles
Interior Angles:
Exterior Angles:
Theorem: Triangle Sum Theorem: The sum of the measures of the interior angles of a triangle is 180o.

Proof of Triangle Sum TheoremGiven triangle ABC. Prove the angle sum is 180o.Draw an auxiliary line through B and parallel to side AC.
Theorem: Exterior Angle TheoremThe measure of an exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the measures of the two nonadjacent interior angles.

Corresponding Parts: a pair of ________________________ that
have the same relative position in two congruent or similar figures.
