Classifying Triangles by Sides and Angles

The document discusses classifying and properties of triangles. It defines triangles classified by side lengths as equilateral, isosceles, or scalene and by angle measures as equiangular, acute, right, or obtuse. Interior angles, exterior angles, the triangle sum theorem, and the exterior angle theorem are explained. Examples problems applying these concepts are provided.

When the sides of a triangle are extended, other angles are formed.

The angles that are adjacent to the interior angles are the exterior angles.
GEOMETRY - TRIANGLE SUM THEOREM

The sum of the measures of the angles of a


triangle is 180°.
