Lesson 40:
*Take your triangle and "rip off" each angle:
Then...line up each of the "angles" and tell me what you find!
SO....the sum of the measures of the angles of a triangle:
180 degrees
4. lesson 40.notebook January 15, 2013
Angle Pairs:
2 1
3 4
*Angles 1 and 2 are adjacent angles they share a common side
(So are 2 and 3; 3 and 4; 1 and 4)
*Angles 1 and 2 are also supplementary they total 180 degrees
(So are 2 and 3; 3 and 4; 1 and 4)
*Angles 1 and 3 are vertical angles they are a pair of nonadjacent angles that are
formed by intersecting lines
(Angles 2 and 4 are too!)
***Complementary angles are 2 angles whose sum is 90 degrees!

Examples (Lesson 40):
A) If the sides of a "regular" triangle are equal in length and the
angles are equal in measure, then what is the measure of each angle?
