Converse of the Corresponding Angles Postulate:

*** IN ORDER TO PROVE LINES TO BE PARALLEL WE MUST USE THE CONVERSES OF OUR POSTULATES
AND THEOREMS. This is the only way we can prove lines are parallel.

Triangle Angle Sum Theorem:

Use the links to determine what defines/classifies each type of triangle below by exploring
the relationships between the angles/sides. Provide an example for each as well.

Types of Triangles:
Classify by Angles:
Equiangular

Acute

Right

Obtuse

Classify by Sides:
Equilateral

Isosceles

Scalene

Is it true that if two acute angles of a triangle are complementary, the triangle must be a
right triangle? Explain.

The sides of a triangle are 12 cm, 4

cm, and 12 cm. Classify the
triangle.

The angles of a triangle are

44, 110. 26. Classify the
triangle.

Based on the appearance,

classify the tirangle according
to the sides and angles.
