4.2 Angles of a Triangle Flashcards
Interior Angle
One of the three original angles in a triangle
Exterior Angle
Angles that are adjacent to the interior angles of a triangle
Triangle Sum Theorem
The sum of the measures of the interior angles of a triangle is 180 degrees
Third Angles Theorem
If 2 angles of one triangle are congruent to 2 angles of another triangle, then the 3rd angles (in each triangle) are congruent
The acute angles of a right triangle are…

Exterior Angles Theorem
The measure of an exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the measures of the two remote (nonadjacent) interior angles
Exterior Angles Inequality Theorem
The measure of an exterior angle of a triangle is greater than the measure of either of the two remote (nonadjacent) interior angles
