ABC
Vertex B
The line segments are , , and AB BC AC
Side AC is opposite angle B
Sides AB & CB are adjacent to vertex B

Angle and Side Classifications Triangles can be classified by their sides and angles.
By sides
Scalene - no congruent sides
Equilateral - three congruent sides
Isosceles - at least two congruent sides

Angle and Side Classifications Triangles can be classified by their sides and angles.
By angles
Acute – an acute triangle is acute because it has three acute angles
Obtuse – an obtuse triangle is obtuse because it has one obtuse angle
Right – a right triangle is right because it has one right angle
Equiangular – an equiangular triangle has three congruent sides

Lets classify some triangles
Notice: All triangles have at least two acute angles so they are classified by the measure of the third angle.

Triangle Sum Theorem The sum of the measures of the angles in a triangle is
180 degrees
180m x m y m z y

z
If x = 55, and y = 75, then z = 180 – (55+75) = 50

Exterior Angles of a Triangle
Exterior angles are angles that are adjacent to the interior angles in a triangle. There are 6 in total, 3 pairs of congruent angles.
It is customary to only talk about one exterior angle at each vertex.

Exterior Angles Theorem The measure of an exterior angle is equal to the sum of
the two remote interior angles.
If x = 35 degrees and y = 45 degrees, then the measure of angle 1 is equal to 80.

Corollary A corollary to a theorem is a statement that can be
proved easily using a theorem.
Corollary to the Triangle Sum TheoremThe acute angles of a right triangle are complementary.
