OBJECTIVE: SOLVING PROBLEMS INVOLVING INTERIOR ANGLES OF A TRIANGLE Background: Interior Angles: Definition: Interior angles are the

ones INSIDE the triangle were looking at Example: 4,3, 5,6 How to Do it: 1. Identify the interior angles of the triangle 2. Add up the measures of those angles 3. Subtract that sum from 180 4. Check your work by adding your answer to measures given for the Examples
?

Background: Triangles: Definition: Triangles are three-sided polygons in which the interior angles add up to 180 Example:

Why? We are learning to make connections between everything weve learned about triangles and angles, so that we can solve tougher problems and be critical

50 + 50 = 100, 180 100 = 80 = ? ?

55 + 90 = 145, 180 145 = 35 = ?
