This document discusses classifying triangles by angles and sides, the triangle interior angle sum theorem, and the exterior angle theorem. It defines acute, obtuse, right, equilateral, isosceles, and scalene triangles. It states that the sum of the interior angles of any triangle is 180 degrees. It introduces the exterior angle theorem, which states that an exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the two remote interior angles. The document provides examples of using these triangle theorems and properties to find missing angle measures.
2. Classifying by Angles
Acute Triangle
Has three acute angles
Obtuse Triangle
Has one obtuse angle
Right Triangle
Has one right angle
3. Classifying by sides
Equilateral Triangle
All three sides are congruent
Isosceles Triangle
Two of the sides are congruent
Scalene Triangle
No sides are congruent
4. Classify the triangle by the
sides and angles.
