Triangle Sum Theorem
Understanding the angles of a
triangle
Introduction
• What do you notice about the angles in a
triangle?
• - Different types of triangles:
• • Acute
• • Right
• • Obtuse
The Theorem
• The sum of the interior angles of a triangle is
always 180°.
• Formula:
• ∠A + B + C = 180°
∠ ∠
Proof (Sketch Idea)
• 1. Draw a line parallel to the base through the
opposite vertex.
• 2. Use alternate interior angles.
• 3. The three angles form a straight line (180°).
Examples
• Example 1: If A = 40° and B = 90°, find C.
∠ ∠ ∠
• Solution: 40° + 90° + C = 180° → C = 50°
∠ ∠
• Example 2: If A = 120° and B = 30°, find
∠ ∠
C.
∠
• Solution: 120° + 30° + C = 180° → C = 30°
∠ ∠
Applications
• - Solving geometry problems
• - Basis for trigonometry
• - Construction and navigation
• - Real-world example: roof trusses, triangular
road signs
Practice Questions
• 1. If A = 70° and B = 60°, find C.
∠ ∠ ∠
• 2. If A = 100° and B = 40°, find C.
∠ ∠ ∠
• 3. Identify each triangle as acute, right, or
obtuse.
Summary
• - The sum of angles in any triangle = 180°
• - Formula: A + B + C = 180°
∠ ∠ ∠
• - Key tool in solving geometry problems

• Can you think of another way to prove the
theorem?
Exterior Angle Theorem
• The measure of an exterior angle of a triangle
is equal to the sum of the two remote interior
angles.
• Formula: Exterior = Remote₁ + Remote₂
∠ ∠ ∠
Example: Exterior Angle Theorem
• If A = 50° and B = 60°, find exterior C.
∠ ∠ ∠
• Solution: C(exterior) = A + B = 50° + 60°
∠ ∠ ∠
= 110°
Isosceles Triangle Theorem
• In an isosceles triangle, the angles opposite
the equal sides are equal.
Example: Isosceles Triangle
Theorem
• If a triangle has two equal sides and A = 70°,
∠
find B and C.
∠ ∠
• Solution: B = C = (180° - 70°) / 2 = 55°
∠ ∠
