Sum of Angles in Triangles
Triangles classified by sides
A scalene trianglehas no congruent sides.
An isosceles trianglehas at least 2 congruent sides
An equilateral triangle, all of the sides are congruent.
Triangles classified by angles
In an acute triangle, all of the angles are acute.
An obtuse triangle hasone obtuse angle.
A right triangle has one right angle.
Classify each triangle according to its sides and angles.
EX1) Two congruent sides
acute Three acute angles
This is an acute isosceles triangle.
EX2)No congruent sides
right One right angle
This is a right scalene triangle.

Tear off the corners of your triangle and put them together.
The sum of the measures of the angles in a triangle is 180°.
m1 + m2 + m3 = 180° 1 3

Find the measure of the unknown angle.
55°
80° x
80° + 55° + x = 180°
135° + x = 180°–135° –135°
x = 45°
The sum of the measures of the angles is 180°.
EX7)
90° + 2x + x = 180° 90° + 3x = 180°
