ANgles in Triangle Sum Theorem

The document discusses the triangle sum theorem and exterior angle theorem. The triangle sum theorem states that the sum of the interior angles of any triangle is 180 degrees. The exterior angle theorem states that an exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the two remote interior angles. Some examples are worked out applying these theorems to find missing angle measures.

Vocabulary
• Adjacent angles – angles that share a common vertex
and side
• Vertical angles – a pair of non-overlapping angles that
are opposite and congruent to each other when two lines
intersect
• Complementary angles – two angles whose sum of
angle measures equals 90 degrees
• Supplementary angles – two angles whose sum of
angle measures equals 180 degrees
• Congruent angles – angles whose angle
measurements are equal
continued . . .
• Axes – the vertical and horizontal lines that act as a
reference when plotting points on a coordinate plane
• Exterior angles of a triangle – angles that are outside
of a triangle between one side of a triangle and the
extension of the adjacent side
• Interior angles of a triangle – angles that are inside of
a triangle, formed by two sides of the triangle
• Transversal – a line that intersects two or more lines
• Angle-angle criterion for triangles – if two angles in
one triangle are congruent to two angles in another
triangle, then the measure of the third angle in both
triangles are congruent
