INTERIOR AND EXTERIOR ANGLE THEOREMS

Interact with the applet below for a few minutes.   Then, answer the questions that follow.   REMEMBER! An exterior angle is an angle on the outside of a triangle that is a linear pair to the interior angle of the triangle. Be sure to change the locations of the triangle's WHITE VERTICES each time before you drag the slider!!! TYPE YOUR ANSWERS AND CLICK THE CHECK YOUR ANSWER BOX.

THIRD ANGLE THEOREM

Move the white vertices to change the shape of the triangle. Decide what the relationship is between the unknown angle and the other two angles.

THIRD ANGLE THEOREM

6. Describe how can you find the measure of angle C?

We use this information to help us prove that the sum of the interior angles of a triangle is _______ degrees.

Determine the measure of the missing angles.

EXTERIOR ANGLE THEOREMS

The two interior angles that are not a linear pair with the exterior angle are called REMOTE ANGLES. Move the slider, then move the white vertices to see what happens.
