Handout 2: Angles in a Triangle
Objectives:
- Define and triangles.
- Understand and apply the triangle inequality theorem.
- Find the nature of triangles.
- Calculate the measure of an angle in a triangle.
ATLs:
- Use geometrical tools.
- Practice visible thinking techniques.

Recall: Definition of a triangle.


A triangle is a closed, 2-dimentional shape that has 3 sides, 3 interior angles and 3 vertices.
Example: A
Triangle ABC has: a
• ̅̅̅̅, 𝐴𝐶
Three sides: 𝐴𝐵 ̅̅̅̅ , 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝐵𝐶
̅̅̅̅

• Three angles:
-𝐴𝐵̂𝐶 = 𝑏
- 𝐵𝐴̂𝐶 = 𝑎 b c
-𝐵𝐶̂ 𝐴 = 𝑐 B C

• Three vertices:
-Point A
-Point B
-Point C

Direct Application 1:
Name the sides, angles, and vertices of the given triangle the same way it was done in the above example.
