On Thursday, the class didn't do much. We took sheets of paper and drew straight lines from two of the vertices to a point on the opposite side of the paper, then cut them out, creating two right triangles and one acute triangle (Oooh facinating). We noticed that when we put the two right angled triangles on the bigger accute triangle, they matched up the same. Using our knowledge of supplementary and alternate angles, we were able to figure that the sum of the interior angles of any triangle equals 180 degrees (Wow what magic!)
On Friday we talked about non-adjacent interior angles (Sounds fun)! Non- adjacent Interior Angles are two angles of a triangle that do not have the same vertex as an exterior angle. In the picture, angle X and angle Y are non-adjacent interior angles to angle Z! We discovered that the measure of an exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the measures of the two non- adjacent interior angles (which is pretty cool because it shows the neat relations between the sides of a triangle!). We had an assignment to do and it was page 90, #1-3, 5, 6, 8, 9, and 12! Big assignment, but I'm sure we all got it done, RIIIIIGHT??
