INVESTIGATION TO BE DONE IN THE VIRTUAL CLASS
ACTIVITY – Triangle Tear up
An activity for proving Angle Sum Property of a Triangle

Tools Needed: paper, ruler, pencil, colored pencils

(i) Draw a triangle on a piece of paper. Try to make all three angles
different sizes. Color the three interior angles three different colors and
label each one, ∠1,∠2, and ∠3.

(ii) Tear off the three colored angles, so you have three separate angles.

(iii) Attempt to line up the angles so their points all match up. What happens?
What measure do the three angles add up to?

This investigation shows us that the sum of the angles in a triangle is

180∘ because the three angles fit together to form a straight line. Recall
that a line is also a straight angle and all straight angles are 180∘

QUESTION 1.

In each of the following, the measures of three angles are given. State in which
cases the angles can possibly be those of a triangle:

(ii) 45o, 61o, 73o
(iii) 59o, 72o, 61o
(iv) 45o, 45o, 90o
(v) 30o, 20o, 125o
