4.2 Flashcards
Interior Angle
Angles formed by the sides of a figure, located in the interior of the figure.
Exterior Angle
An angle that is adjacent to an interior angle (must form a linear pair) or… an angle that forms a linear pair with an interior angle.
Thm. 4.2: Triangle Sum Theorem
The sum of the measures of the interior angles of a triangle is 180 degrees.
Thm. 4.3: Third Angles Theorem
If two angles of one triangle are congruent to two angles of a second triangle, then the third angles are also congruent.
Thm. 4.4
The acute angles of a right triangle are complementary.
Thm. 4.5: 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.
Thm. 4.6: Exterior Angles Inequality Theorem
The measure of an exterior angle of a triangle is greater than the measure of either of the two nonadjacent interior angles.
