Write an indirect proof that an equiangular triangle can not have an obtuse angle. Answers may vary. 1. Given: An equiangular triangle Prove: The triangle does not have an obtuse angle 2. Assume the equiangular triangle has an obtuse angle 3. An equilateral triangle, by definition, is a triangle whose angles are all congruent. Since the sum of the angles in a triangle measure 180, then each angle in an equiangular triangle must measure 60. An obtuse angle, by definition, is an angle whose measure is greater than 90. Since 60 is less then 90, none of the angles are obtuse. 4. Original conjecture is true. An equiangular triangle cannot have an obtuse angle. 118 Geometry

18 CHAPTER Big Ideas Answer these questions to summarize the important concepts from Chapter in your own words. 1. Eplain the difference in location between the circumcenter and the incenter of a triangle. Answers may vary. Possible answer: The circumcenter can be inside the triangle, outside the triangle or on the triangle. Unlike the circumcenter, the incenter is always inside the triangle. 2. Why is the centroid of a triangle also called the center of gravity? Answers may vary. Possible answer: The centroid of a triangle is also called the center of gravity because it is a point where a triangular region will balance. 3. Describe how many midsegments each triangle has and what is formed by them. Answers may vary. Possible answer: Every triangle has three midsegments, which form the midsegment triangle. 4. Use the Pythagorean theorem to describe an obtuse and acute triangle such as ABC. If c 2 a 2 b 2, then ABC is an obtuse triangle. If c 2 a 2 b 2, then ABC is an acute triangle.
