Question19. Define the following terms: interior angle, exterior angle, remote interior angle, complementary angles, supplementary angles
20. Draw an example of each triangle and include the measure of each angle in your examples: acute triangle, equilateral triangle, right triangle, obtuse triangle.

Studdy Solution

STEP 1

What is this asking? We need to define some angle terms and draw labeled examples of different types of triangles. Watch out! Don't mix up the different types of angles and triangles!
Make sure your labeled drawings are neat and clear.

STEP 2

1. Define Angle Terms
2. Draw Triangles

STEP 3

Alright, let's **define** these angle terms!
An *interior angle* is an angle inside a polygon formed by two adjacent sides.
Think of it like the angles *inside* the corners of a shape!

STEP 4

An *exterior angle* is an angle formed by one side of a polygon and the extension of an adjacent side.
It's like the angle *outside* the corner, if you kept one side going!

STEP 5

A *remote interior angle* is an interior angle of a triangle that is not adjacent to a given exterior angle.
So, if you pick an exterior angle, the two interior angles on the *opposite* side of the triangle are its remote interior angles.

STEP 6

*Complementary angles* are two angles whose measures add up to 9090^\circ.
Think of a right angle being split into two parts!

STEP 7

*Supplementary angles* are two angles whose measures add up to 180180^\circ.
Think of a straight line being split into two angles!

STEP 8

An *acute triangle* has all interior angles measuring less than 9090^\circ.
Let's draw one with angles 5050^\circ, 6060^\circ, and 7070^\circ.
Notice how 50+60+70=18050^\circ + 60^\circ + 70^\circ = 180^\circ!
All angles are less than 9090^\circ and they add up to 180180^\circ, just like the angles in any triangle should!

STEP 9

An *equilateral triangle* has all sides equal in length, and all angles equal to 6060^\circ.
So, let's draw one with all angles labeled 6060^\circ! 60+60+60=18060^\circ + 60^\circ + 60^\circ = 180^\circ, perfect!

STEP 10

A *right triangle* has one angle that measures exactly 9090^\circ.
Let's draw one with angles 3030^\circ, 6060^\circ, and 9090^\circ. 30+60+90=18030^\circ + 60^\circ + 90^\circ = 180^\circ, awesome!

STEP 11

An *obtuse triangle* has one angle that measures greater than 9090^\circ.
Let's draw one with angles 3030^\circ, 4040^\circ, and 110110^\circ. 30+40+110=18030^\circ + 40^\circ + 110^\circ = 180^\circ, fantastic!

STEP 12

We've defined *interior angle*, *exterior angle*, *remote interior angle*, *complementary angles*, and *supplementary angles*.
We've also drawn and labeled an *acute*, *equilateral*, *right*, and *obtuse* triangle, with the measure of each angle included!
