1 4.1 Triangles Sum onjectures uxillary line: an extra line or segment that helps you with your proof. Page 202 Paragraph proof explaining why the Triangle Sum onjecture is true. onjecture: The sum of the measures of the angles in every triangle is 180. with auxiliary line E Given: angles labeled as shown. Show: m 2 + m 4 + m 5 = 180 and m 1+ m 2 + m 3 = 180 Linear pair conjecture and form transversals between parallel lines E and m 1 = m 4 and m 3 = m 5 because I are congruent Substituting into the first equation above m 2 + m 4 + m 5 = 180 Therefore, the sum of the measures of the angles in every triangle is 180. Page 204 #18 Prove Third ngle onjecture onjecture: If two angles of one triangle are congruent to two angles of another triangle, then the third angle in each triangle is congruent to the third angle in the other triangle. Given: m = m E and m = m F Show: m = m D E F D m + m + m = 180 and m E + m F + m D = 180 by the triangle sum conjecture. Since they both equal 180, m + m + m = m E + m F + m D Now subtract equal measures m = m E and m = m F. m = m D Therefore, the third angles are always congruent. S. Stirling Page 1 of 20

(Make sure the triangles angles sum is 180 right?) If you disregard measurement error, are there any patterns for all isosceles triangles? Finish the following conjecture using the vocabulary you learned about isosceles triangles. Isosceles Triangle onjecture If a triangle is isosceles, then its base angles are congruent. omplete the conjecture in the notes. S. Stirling Page 3 of 20

4 4.2 Group Investigation 2: Is the onverse True? Write the converse of the Isosceles Triangle onjecture below. onverse of the Isosceles Triangle onjecture If a triangle has two congruent angles, then it is an isosceles triangle. Is this converse true? In this investigation, you are going to make congruent angles and then measure the sides to see if the triangle is isosceles. For each of the following, make. Extend the sides to form. Then measure the sides to see if is isosceles. 6.1 cm 6.1 cm cm cm 5.7 cm 8.4 cm 70 Is the converse of the Isosceles Triangle onjecture true?

Note: In order for the pattern of tiles to look symmetric, all of the triangles of the same size must be congruent! How many of the tiles are isosceles triangles? a = 36, b = 36, c = 72, d = 108, e = 36 ll of the triangles are isosceles. S. Stirling Page 5 of 20

When is it possible to construct a triangle from 3 sides and when is it not possible? Measure the three sides in centimeters. How do the numbers compare? onstruct T from T T T onstruct FSH from F S H H F S F S T but not able to construct FSH Why were you able to construct? Give more examples of three side lengths that will NOT make a triangle. Will sides of 4 cm, 6 cm and 10 cm make a triangle? Various examples: 2, 5, 9 because < 9 4, 6 and 10? No because = 10 NOT a triangle, it s a segment. State your observations in the conjecture. Triangle Inequality onjecture The sum of the lengths of any two sides of a triangle is greater than the length of the third side. omplete the conjecture in the notes and the example problems. S. Stirling Page 6 of 20

7 4.3 Group Investigation 2: Largest and Smallest ngles in a Triangle For each of the following triangles, carefully measure the angles. Label the angle with the greatest measure L, the angle with the second largest measure M, and the smallest angle S. Now measure the sides in centimeters.. Label the side with the greatest measure l, the side with the second largest measure m, and the shortest side s. L? M? S Which side is opposite? Write a conjecture that states where the largest and smallest angles are in a triangle, in relation to the longest and shortest sides. S m l L 33 s S M 35 m l L s M Side-ngle Inequality onjecture In a triangle, if one side is the longest side, then the angle opposite the longest side is the largest angle. (nd visa versa.) Likewise, if one side is the shortest side, then the angle opposite the shortest side is the smallest angle. (nd visa versa.) Does this property apply to other types of polygons? Test it out! Would you really need to measure these? P E T N E is the largest angle but it is opposite the shortest side T. omplete the conjecture in the notes and the example problems. Q U D an t be true for polygons with an even number of sides because angles are opposite angles and sides are opposite sides. S. Stirling Page 7 of 20
