Guided Notes

3 key concepts

  • 1

    The Triangle Sum Theorem states that the sum of the three interior angles of any triangle will always add up to 180 degrees.

  • 2

    If a triangle has angles A, B, and C, then the equation A + B + C = 180 can be used to solve for missing angle measurements.

  • 3

    When solving for a variable within angle expressions, remember to combine like terms before isolating the variable using inverse operations.
