1. Find the measure of exterior DBA of BCD,
if mDBC = 30°, mC= 70°, and mD = 80°

4.2: Angle Relationships in Triangles
• Learning Objective
– SWBAT find the measures and apply theorems of
interior and exterior angles of triangles.
MATH JOKE OF THE DAY
• How many feet are in a yard?
• It depends on how many people are in the
yard!
Materials
Patty paper
Straightedge
Piece of paper split in half
Pencil/eraser
Directions
1. Draw and label triangle ABC on your paper
2. On patty paper, draw a line l and label a point
P on the line
3. Place line l on AB and place point P on angle
B of your triangle. Trace angle B.
Directions
1. Rotate the triangle until point P is on Angle C
and trace angle C. It should be adjacent to
Angle B.
2. Rotate the triangle again and trace angle A
adjacent to angle C.
Answer the following Question on
your Notes:
1. What do you notice about the three angles of
the triangle?
Now do it Again…
• With a different size triangle
• What do you observe about your results?
• Write an equation describing the relationship
among the measures of the interior angles in a
triangle.
• This is the Triangle Sum Theorem
• Tape your triangle and patty paper in your
notebooks.

Example 1: Application
After an accident, the positions of cars are
measured by law enforcement to
investigate the collision.
1. Use the diagram drawn from the
information collected to find mXYZ.
2. Find mYWZ
mXYZ + mYZX + mZXY = 180°

• Use the diagram
to find mMJK.
A corollary is a theorem whose proof follows directly from
another theorem. Here are two corollaries to the Triangle Sum
Theorem.
Example 2: Finding Angle Measures in
Right Triangles
One of the acute angles in a right triangle
measures 2x°. What is the measure of the other
acute angle?
Let the acute angles be A and B, with mA = 2x°.
mA + mB = 90°
2x + mB = 90
mB = (90 – 2x)°
Whiteboards
• The measure of one of the acute angles in a
right triangle is x°. What is the measure of
the other acute angle?
• Interior
• all points inside the figure
• Exterior
• all points outside the figure.

Exterior Angle Theorem
The measure of an exterior angle of a
triangle is equal to the sum of the
measures of its non-adjacent interior
angles
4= 1 + 2
Example 3: Applying the Exterior Angle
Theorem
