Triangle - a triangle consists of three noncollinear points and the line segments connecting them Equilateral  - has three congruent sides Isosceles - has two congruent sides Scalene - has no congruent sides
Triangles Acute Triangle - has three acute angles Equiangular Triangle - has three congruent angles Right Triangle - has exactly one right angle Obtuse Triangle - has one obtuse angle
Leg Leg Base Base Angle Base Angle
- the sum of the measures of a triangle is 180° - the measure of the exterior angle is equal to the sum of the two remote interior angles 1 4 2 3
110° ? 60° Example 1:
