ASSIGNMENT: Angle Relationships in Triangles
DIRECTIONS: We know that a RIGHT triangle contains one RIGHT angle. If we
know that all three angles must add to 180º, then we also know that the other two
non-right angles are acute. They must add to 90º, thus each one must be less
than 90º.
In an EQUIANGULAR triangle, all angles must be EQUAL and, since this is a
triangle, SUM to 180º. There is only one number that satisfies this requirement.
60º. Therefore, every angle in an EQUIANGULAR triangle must be 60º.
If we have two triangles where two of their angles are congruent to two angles of
the other triangle, then the third angles are congruent. For example, if we have
two triangles, and they each have two angles measuring 40º and 60º, we know
that the third angle MUST BE 80º for those triangles’ angles to add to 180º.

ASSIGNMENT: Congruent Triangles
DIRECTIONS: Congruent Triangles have congruent corresponding sides and
angles. “Corresponding” means that those sides and angles would “match up” if
the shapes were stacked on top of one another.
Congruent triangles are congruent if and only if their sides and angles are
congruent. When naming congruent triangles, you have to name the
corresponding vertices in the same order.
For example: With these triangles, the
following parts are congruent.
Angle A = Angle I; Angle C = Angle G
Angle B = Angle H
Side AB = Side IH; Side BC = Side HG
Side AC = Side IG
Also, we could say that Triangle ABC = Triangle IHG; Triangle BCA = Triangle HGI
Triangle CAB = Triangle GIH
HOWEVER, this out-of-order sequence is incorrect. Triangle ABC ≠ Triangle GIH
5.) ⧍EFH ≅ ⧍GFH

6.) ⧍SGE and ⧍KPM are congruent. Name all the corresponding vertices and
sides.
7.) ⧍SDF and ⧍XCV are congruent. If SD = 5x − 7 and XC = 13, what is the value
of “x” and Side SD?

1.) x = 13
2.) Angle NKM = 44º;
3.) 30º; 60º; 90º
4.) 60º
5.) x = 17
6.) tutorials
7.) x = 4
Angle JLK = 78º
