Triangle Classification by Angles • Acute • all angles are acute
• Obtuse • one obtuse angle
• Right • one right angle
• Equiangular • all angles are the same
Theorem โ ข The sum of the measures of the angles of a triangle is 180ยบ
What is a corollary?
• A statement that can be proved easily by applying a theorem.

• If m∠ A = m∠D and m∠B = m∠E, then what can we say? • m∠ C = m∠F
Second Corollary • Each angle of an equiangular triangle has a measure of ___. • 180 ÷ 3 • 60º
