Triangles
A triangle is a polygon with three sides. A triangle with vertices (corners) A, B, and C
is called “triangle ABC” or “△ABC.”
Interior and Exterior Angles
A triangle’s interior angles are the three angles contained within the boundaries of the triangle.
The exterior angles of a triangle are the angles formed when the sides of the triangle are extended. They always lie outside the triangle.
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.
Congruent Triangles Congruent Figures – If two geometric
figures are congruent, then all the parts of one figure are congruent to the corresponding parts of the other figure.
In the diagram, ∠P and ∠L are corresponding angles, and JK and QR are corresponding sides.
Third Angles Theorem
If two angles of one triangle are congruent to two angles of another triangle, then the third angles are also congruent.
In the diagram, the unlabeled angles must be congruent. What is the measure of both unlabeled angles? 73°
