Scalene Obtuse Scalene Right Equilateral Equiangular Isosceles Acute Vertex • The vertex of a triangle is any point at which two sides are joined. – It is a corner of a triangle. • There are 3 in every triangle Adjacent Sides and Adjacent Angles • Adjacent sides are those sides that intersect at a common vertex of a polygon. – These are said to be adjacent to an angle. • Adjacent angles are those angles that are right next to each other as you move inside a polygon. – These are said to be adjacent to a specific side. More Parts of Triangles • If you were to extend the sides you will see that more angles would be formed. • So we need to keep them separate – The three angles are called interior angles because they are inside the triangle. – The three new angles are called exterior angles because they lie outside the triangle. Theorem 4.1: Triangle Sum Theorem • The sum of the measures of the interior angles of a triangle is 180o. B mA + mB + mC = 180o C A Example 3.2 Solve for x and then classify the triangle based on its angles. Acute 75o 50o 3x + 2x + 55 = 180 Triangle Sum Theorem 5x + 55 = 180 Simplify 5x = 125 SPOE x = 25 DPOE Example 3.3 Solve for x and classify each triangle by angle measure. 1. mA ( x 30) o ( x 30) x ( x 60) 180 mB x o mC ( x 60) o mA 60o mB 30o mC 90 2. mA (6 x 11)o o 3x 90 180 3x 90 x 30 Right (6 x 11) (3x 2) (5 x 1) 180 mB (3 x 2)o mC (5 x 1)o mA 83o mB 34o mC 59o 14x 12 180 14x 168 x 12 Acute Example 3.4 Draw a sketch of the triangle described. 1.

Right Equilateral (Not Possible) Theorem 4.2: Exterior Angle Theorem • The measure of an exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the measures of the two nonadjacent interior angles. B A C m A +m B = m C Example 3.6 Solve for x 6 x 7 2 x (103 x) 6x 7 x 103 5x 7 103 5x 110 x 22 Exterior Angles Theorem Combine Like Terms Subtraction Property Addition Property Division Property Corollary to the Triangle Sum Theorem • A corollary to a theorem is a statement that can be proved easily using the original theorem itself. – This is treated just like a theorem or a postulate in proofs. • The acute angles in a right triangle are complementary. A mA + mB = 90o B C Example 3.7 If you don’t like the Exterior Angle Theorem, then find m2 first using the Linear Pair Postulate. Find the unknown angle measures. 1. 90o 53o m1 180o 3. 143o m1 180o 102o m2 180o m1 37 o m2 78o 2. 90 42 m1 180 o o VA o 132o m1 180o m1 48o 90 33 m2 180 o o 123o m2 180o m2 57o VA m2 m3 122o m1 34 o 78o 68o m1 180o 68o 34o m2 180o o 4. 68o m1 102o Then find m1 using the Angle Sum Theorem. 58o m2 180o m2 122o 102o m2 180o 146o m1 180o m1 34o m2 78o 122o 22o m1 180o 122o 20o m4 180o 144o m1 180o m1 36o 142o m4 180o m4 38o Homework 3.1 • Lesson 3.1 – All Sections – p1-6 • Due Tomorrow Lesson 3.2 Inequalities in One Triangle Lesson 3.2 Objectives • Order the angles in a triangle from smallest to largest based on given side lengths. (G1.2.2) • Order the side lengths of a triangle from smallest to largest based on given angle measures. (G1.2.2) • Utilize the Triangle Inequality Theorem. Theorem 5.10: Side Lengths of a Triangle Theorem • If one side of a triangle is longer than another side, then the angle opposite the longer side is larger than the angle opposite the shorter side. – Basically, the larger the side, the larger the angle opposite that side. 2nd Largest Angle Smallest Side Largest Angle 2nd Longest Side Smallest Angle Theorem 5.11: Angle Measures of a Triangle Theorem • If one angle of a triangle is larger than another angle, then the side opposite the larger angle is longer than the side opposite the smaller angle. – Basically, the larger the angle, the larger the side opposite that angle. 2nd Largest Angle Smallest Side Largest Angle 2nd Longest Side Smallest Angle Example 3.8 Order the angles from largest to smallest. 2. 1.

In XYZ mX = 25o XY , XZ , YZ mY = 33o mZ = 122o Theorem 5.13: Triangle Inequality • The sum of the lengths of any two sides of a triangle is greater than the length of the third side. 4 3 1 3 6 6 4 2 6 Add each combination of two sides to make sure that they are longer than the third remaining side. Example 3.11 Determine whether the following could be lengths of a triangle. a) 6, 10, 15 a) 6 + 10 > 15 10 + 15 > 6 6 + 15 > 10 YES! b) 11, 16, 32 b) 11 + 16 < 32 NO! Hint: A shortcut is to make sure that the sum of the two smallest sides is bigger than the third side. The other sums will always work.

Example 3.13 Solve for x and y. 1. 5xo 2. 5xo 5x 5x 5x 180 15x 180 x 12 Or…In order for a triangle to be equiangular, all angles must equal… 5x 60 x 12 It does not matter which two sides you set equal to each other, just pick the pair that looks the easiest! 2x 3 4x 5 3 2x 5 8 2x x4 Special Parts in a Right Triangle • Right triangles have special names that go with its parts as well. • For instance: – The two sides that form the right angle are called the legs of the right triangle. – The side opposite the right angle is called the hypotenuse. • The hypotenuse is always the longest side of a right triangle. hypotenuse legs Homework 3.3 • Lesson 3.3 – Isosceles, Equilateral, and Right Triangles – p9-11 • Due Tomorrow • Quiz Tomorrow – Tuesday, October 19th Lesson 3.4 Medians And Altitudes of Triangles Lesson 3.4 Objectives • Identify a median, an altitude, and a perpendicular bisector of a triangle. (G1.2.5) • Identify a centroid of a triangle. • Utilize medians and altitudes to solve for missing parts of a triangle. (G1.2.5) • Identify the orthocenter of a triangle. Perpendicular Bisector • A segment, ray, line, or plane that is perpendicular to a segment at its midpoint is called the perpendicular bisector. Triangle Medians • A median of a triangle is a segment that does the following: – Contains one endpoint at a vertex of the triangle, and – Contains its other endpoint at the midpoint of the opposite side of the triangle. A B D C Centroid Remember: All medians intersect the midpoint of the opposite side. • When all three medians are drawn in, they intersect to form the centroid of a triangle. – This forms a point of concurrency which is defined as a point formed by the intersection of two or more lines. • The centroid happens to find the balance point for any triangle. • In Physics, this is how we locate the center of mass. Obtuse Acute Right Theorem 5.7: Concurrency of Medians of a Triangle • The medians of a triangle intersect at a point that is two-thirds of the distance from each vertex to the midpoint of the opposite side. – The centroid is 2/3 the distance from any vertex to the opposite side. • Or said another way, the centroid is twice as far away from the opposite angle as it is to the nearest side. AP = 2/3AE BP = 2/3BF CP = 2/3CD Example 3.14 S is the centroid of RTW, RS = 4, VW = 6, and TV = 9. Find the following: a) RV a) b) 6 RU b) 6 • Half of 4 is 2, and … • c) 4+2=6 • Works every time!! SU c) d) 2 RW d) e) 12 TS e) 6 • f) 6 is 2/3 of 9 SV f) 3 • Half of 6, which is the other part of the median. Altitudes • An altitude of a triangle is the perpendicular segment from a vertex to the opposite side. – It does not bisect the angle. – It does not bisect the side. • The altitude is often thought of as the height. – While true, there are 3 altitudes in every triangle but only 1 height! Orthocenter • The three altitudes of a triangle intersect at a point that we call the orthocenter of the triangle. • The orthocenter can be located: – inside the triangle – outside the triangle, or – on one side of the triangle Obtuse Right Acute The orthocenter of a right triangle will always be located at the vertex that forms the right angle. Example 3.15 Is segment BD a median, altitude, or perpendicular bisector of ABC? Hint: It could be more than one! 1. 3. Perpendicular Bisector Median Altitude Median 4. 2.

(G1.2.2) Reviewing Altitudes Determine the size of the altitudes of the following triangles. I. 6 II. III. 16 If it is a right triangle, then you can use Pythagorean Theorem to solve for the missing side length. c ? a b a 2 b2 c2 a 2 62 102 a 2 36 100 a 2 64 a 64 8 Area • The area of a figure is defined as “the amount of space inside the boundary of a flat (2-dimensional) object” – http://www.mathsisfun.com/definitions/area.html • Because of the 2-dimensional nature, the units to measure area will always be “squared.” – For example: • • • • • in2 or square inches ft2 or square feet m2 or square meters mi2 or square miles The area of a rectangle has up until now been found by taking: • length x width (l x w) • We will now change the wording slightly to fit a more general pattern for all shapes, and that is: • base x height (b x h) • bl That general pattern will exist as long as the base and height form a right angle. – Or said another way, the base and height both touch the right angle. w h Area of a Triangle • The area of a triangle is found by taking one-half the base times the height of the triangle • Again the base and height form a right angle. – Notice that the base is an actual side of the triangle, and… – The height is nothing more than the altitude of the triangle drawn from the base to the opposite vertex. 1 A( ) b h 2 b h h b Perimeter of a Triangle • The perimeter of a triangle is found by taking the sum of all three sides of the triangle. – So basically you need to add all three sides together. • The perimeter is a 1-dimensional measurement, so the units should not have an exponent on them. – Example: » in » ft » m » mi P( ) a b c b a h c Example 3.16 Find the area and perimeter of the following triangles. 1. 1 A( ) b h 2 1 A( ) (24)(10) 2 A( ) (12)(10) A( ) 120 sq. units Homework 3.5 • Lesson 3.5 – Area and Perimeter of Triangles – p14-15 • Due Tomorrow
