Measures of Angles of a Triangle
The word “triangle” means “three angles”




When the sides of a triangles are extended,
however, other angles are formed
The original 3 angles of the triangle are the
interior angles
The angles that are adjacent to interior angles
are the exterior angles
Each vertex has a pair of exterior angles

Triangle Sum Theorem
The Triangle Angle-Sum Theorem gives
the relationship among the interior angle
measures of any triangle.
Triangle Sum Theorem
If you tear off two corners of a triangle and
place them next to the third corner, the
three angles seem to form a straight line.
You can also show this in a drawing.
Triangle Sum Theorem
Draw a triangle and extend one side. Then
draw a line parallel to the extended side, as
shown.
Two sides of the
triangle are
transversals to the
parallel lines.
The three angles in the triangle can be
arranged to form a straight line or 180°.
Theorem 4.1 – Triangle Sum Theorem
The sum of the measures of the angles of a
triangle is 180°.

Triangle Sum Theorem
Example 1
Given mA = 43° and mB = 85°, find mC.
SOLUTION
mA + mB + mC = 180°
43° + 85° + mC = 180°
128° + mC = 180°
128° + mC – 128° = 180° – 128°
mC = 52°
ANSWER
CHECK
Triangle Sum Theorem
Substitute 43° for mA and
85° for mB.
Simplify.
Subtract 128° from each side.
Simplify.
C has a measure of 52°.
Check your solution by substituting 52° for mC. 43° +
85° + 52° = 180°
Example 2a
A. Find p in the acute triangle.
73° + 44° + p° = 180°
117 + p = 180
–117
–117
p = 63
Triangle Sum
Theorem
Subtract 117 from
both sides.
Example 2b
B. Find m in the obtuse triangle.

85 + m = 180
–85
–85
m = 95
Subtract 85 from
both sides.

Your Turn:
A. Find a in the acute triangle.
88° + 38° + a° = 180°
126 + a = 180
–126
–126

Your Turn:
B. Find c in the obtuse triangle.
24° + 38° + c° = 180°
62 + c = 180
–62

Triangle Sum Theorem
Simplify.
Divide both sides by 10.
x = 18
The angle labeled 2x° measures
2(18°) = 36°, the angle labeled
3x° measures 3(18°) = 54°, and
the angle labeled 5x° measures
5(18°) = 90°.
Your Turn:
Find the angle measures in the scalene triangle.
3x° + 7x° + 10x° = 180°
20x = 180

The angle labeled 3x°
measures 3(9°) = 27°, the
angle labeled 7x°
measures 7(9°) = 63°, and
the angle labeled 10x°
measures 10(9°) = 90°.
Triangle Sum Theorem
Simplify.
Divide both sides by 20.
