Proof of the Triangle Angle-Sum Theorem:
This proof uses an Auxiliary Line (an extra line drawn to
help analyze geometric relationships).

If m 1 = 140, find m ACB
Now find m A + m B
Exterior Angle Theorem:
The measure of an exterior angle of a triangle is equal to
the sum of the measures of the two remote interior angles.
Corollary: a theorem in which the proof follows directly from
another theorem.
Triangle Angle-Sum Corollaries:
The acute angles of a right triangle are complementary.
There can be at most one right or one obtuse angle in a
triangle.
