Standard/Objectives:Standard 3: Students will learn and apply
geometric concepts.Objectives:• Classify triangles by their sides and
angles.• Find angle measures in trianglesDEFINITION: A triangle is a figure formed
by three segments joining three non-collinear points.

Names of triangles
Equilateral—3 congruent sides
Isosceles Triangle—2 congruent sides
Scalene—no congruent sides
Triangles can be classified by the sides or by the angle

Equiangular triangle• 3 congruent angles. An
equiangular triangle is also acute.

Parts of a triangle• Each of the three
points joining the sides of a triangle is a vertex.(plural: vertices). A, B and C are vertices.
• Two sides sharing a common vertext are adjacent sides.
• The third is the side opposite an angle

Right Triangle• Red represents
the hypotenuse of a right triangle. The sides that form the right angle are the legs.

• An isosceles triangle can have 3 congruent sides in which case it is equilateral. When an isosceles triangle has only two congruent sides, then these two sides are the legs of the isosceles triangle. The third is the base.

Identifying the parts of an isosceles triangle
• Explain why ∆ABC is an isosceles right triangle.
• In the diagram you are given that C is a right angle. By definition, then ∆ABC is a right triangle. Because AC = 5 ft and BC = 5 ft; AC BC. By definition, ∆ABC is also an isosceles triangle.

About 7 ft.

12
Identifying the parts of an isosceles triangle
• Identify the legs and the hypotenuse of ∆ABC. Which side is the base of the triangle?
• Sides AC and BC are adjacent to the right angle, so they are the legs. Side AB is opposite the right angle, so it is t he hypotenuse. Because AC BC, side AB is also the base.

Using Angle Measures of Triangles Smiley faces are
interior angles and hearts represent the exterior angles
Each vertex has a pair of congruent exterior angles; however it is common to show only one exterior angle at each vertex.

Exterior Angle theorem: m1 = m A +m 1
(2x+10)
x + 65 = (2x + 10)
65 = x +10
55 = x

Finding angle measures• Corollary to the
triangle sum theorem
• The acute angles of a right triangle are complementary.
• m A + m B = 90

∆ABC are congruent to two angles of ∆DEF. By the Third Angles Theorem, the third angles are also congruent. That is, B E. Notice that BC is the side included between B and C, and EF is the side included between E and F. You can apply the ASA Congruence Postulate to conclude that ∆ABC ∆DEF.

Planning a proof
For example, suppose you want to prove that PQS ≅ RQS in the diagram shown at the right. One way to do this is to show that ∆PQS ≅ ∆RQS by the SSS Congruence Postulate. Then you can use the fact that corresponding parts of congruent triangles are congruent to conclude that PQS ≅ RQS.

92
Ex. 1: Planning & Writing a Proof
Solution: First copy the diagram and mark it with the given information. Then mark any additional information you can deduce. Because AB and CD are parallel segments intersected by a transversal, and BC and DA are parallel segments intersected by a transversal, you can deduce that two pairs of alternate interior angles are congruent.

Ex. 1: Paragraph Proof
Because AD ║CD, it follows from the Alternate Interior Angles Theorem that ABD ≅CDB. For the same reason, ADB ≅CBD because BC║DA. By the Reflexive property of Congruence, BD ≅ BD. You can use the ASA Congruence Postulate to conclude that ∆ABD ≅ ∆CDB. Finally because corresponding parts of congruent triangles are congruent, it follows that AB ≅ CD.

Placing Figures in a Coordinate Plane
So far, you have studied two-column proofs, paragraph proofs, and flow proofs. A COORDINATE PROOF involves placing geometric figures in a coordinate plane. Then you can use the Distance Formula (no, you never get away from using this) and the Midpoint Formula, as well as postulate and theorems to prove statements about figures.

Ex. 1: Placing a Rectangle in a Coordinate Plane
Place a 2-unit by 6-unit rectangle in a coordinate plane.
SOLUTION: Choose a placement that makes finding distance easy (along the origin) as seen to the right.

Ex. 3 Using the Midpoint Formula
In the diagram, ∆MLN ≅∆KLN). Find the coordinates of point L.
Solution: Because the triangles are congruent, it follows that ML ≅ KL. So, point L must be the midpoint of MK. This means you can use the Midpoint Formula to find the coordinates of point L.

Writing Coordinate Proofs
Once a figure is placed in a coordinate plane, you may be able to prove statements about the figure.

Ex. 4: Writing a Plan for a Coordinate Proof
Write a plan to prove that SQ bisects PSR. Given: Coordinates of vertices of ∆PQS and ∆RQS. Prove SQ bisects PSR. Plan for proof: Use the Distance Formula to find the
side lengths of ∆PQS and ∆RQS. Then use the SSS Congruence Postulate to show that ∆PQS ≅ ∆RQS. Finally, use the fact that corresponding parts of congruent triangles are congruent (CPCTC) to conclude that PSQ ≅RSQ, which implies that SQ bisects PSR.

NOTE:
The coordinate proof in Example 4 applies to a specific triangle. When you want to prove a statement about a more general set of figures, it is helpful to use variables as coordinates.
For instance, you can use variable coordinates to duplicate the proof in Example 4. Once this is done, you can conclude that SQ bisects PSR for any triangle whose coordinates fit the given pattern.

Ex. 5: Using Variables as Coordinates Right ∆QBC has leg lengths
of h units and k units. You can find the coordinates of points B and C by considering how the triangle is placed in a coordinate plane.
Point B is h units horizontally from the origin (0, 0), so its coordinates are (h, 0). Point C is h units horizontally from the origin and k units vertically from the origin, so its coordinates are (h, k). You can use the Distance Formula to find the length of the hypotenuse QC.
