Chapter 4.2: Angles of a Triangle Flashcards
(7 cards)
Interior Angle
the original three angles of the triangle are interior angles.
Exterior Angle
the angles that are adjacent to the interior angles are exterior angles of a triangle.
Thm. 4.2 - Triangle Sum Thm.
the sum of the measures of the interior angles of a triangle is 180 degrees.
Thm. 4.3 - Third Angles Thm.
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 Angles Thm.
the measure of an exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the measures of the two remote (nonadjacent) interior angles.
Thm. 4.6 - Exterior Angles Inequality Thm.
the measure of an exterior angle of a triangle is greater than the measure of either of the two remote (nonadjacent) interior angles.
