Angle Sum Theorem
Triangle Inequality
Angle Pairs
100

The sum of all the interior angles of a triangle.


What is 180o?

100

State the triangle inequality theorem.

What is "the sum of any two sides of a triangle must be greater than the third side"?

100

Combined, a 59 degree angle and a 31 degree angle  are . . .

What is complementary?

Work: 59 + 31 = 90

200

Determine the missing angle.


What is 71o?

Work: 

82 + 27 + x = 180

109 + x = 180

x = 180 - 109

x = 71

200

Determine if a triangle can be drawn with the sides 11, 12, and 17.

What is yes? 

Work: 

11 + 12 > 17

11 + 17 > 12

12 + 17 > 11

200

Identify the angle pair relationship.


What is supplementary?

Work: 146 + 34 = 180o

300

Determine the missing angle.


What is 49o?

Work: 

90 + 41 + x = 180

131 + x = 180

x = 180 - 131

x = 49

300

Determine if a triangle can be drawn with the sides 4, 8, and 15.

What is no?

Work:

4 + 8 < 15

300

Identify the angle pair relationship and solve for x.


What is complementary, x = 53o

Work: 

x + 37 = 90

x = 90 - 37

x = 53

400

Use the angle sum rule to determine the value of x.


What is x = 12o?

Work:

90 + 2x + 1 +5x + 5 = 180

96 + 7x = 180

7x = 84

x = 12

400

The missing side (x) must be at between ___ and ___ .


What is between 3 and 10?

Work: 3 + 8 = 11, but if x is bigger than 10 it will become the longest side .

(and the inequality wont work)

400

Identify the angle pair relationship and solve for x.


What is vertical angles, x = 49

Work: 

126 = x + 77

126-77 = x

49 = x

500

Use the angle sum rule to determine the value of x.


What is x = 14?

Work:

7x - 11 + 2x - 3 + 5x - 2 = 180

14x - 16 = 180

14x = 196

x = 14

500

Identify which set of numbers could NOT make a triangle.

(a)6,8,11

(b)9,12,19

(c)7,11,18

(d)5,6,7

What is (c)?

Work: 7 + 11 = 18

This is not greater than the other side (18) so these numbers cannot form a triangle


500

Identify the angle pair relationship and find the measure of q.


What is supplementary, q = 22

Work: 

(7q−46) + (3q+6) = 180

10q − 40 = 180

10q = 180 + 40

10q = 220

q = 22
