2. What does the Triangle Sum Theorem indicate about the angles of a triangle that has three angles of equal measure? How do you know?
Explore 2 Exploring Interior Angles in PolygonsTo determine the sum of the interior angles for any polygon, you can use what you know about the Triangle Sum Theorem by considering how many triangles there are in other polygons. For example, by drawing the diagonal from a vertex of a quadrilateral, you can form two triangles. Since each triangle has an angle sum of 180°, the quadrilateral must have an angle sum of 180° + 180° = 360°.
A Draw the diagonals from any one vertex for each polygon. Then state the number of triangles that are formed. The first two have already been completed.

Integrate Mathematical PracticesThis lesson provides an opportunity to address Mathematical Practice MP.8, which calls for students to “look for and identify patterns.” Throughout the lesson, students use hands-on investigations or geometry to predict patterns and relationships for the interior and exterior angles of a triangle or polygon. They prove the Triangle Sum Theorem, the Polygon Angle Sum Theorem, and the Exterior Angle Theorem. The hands-on investigations give students a chance to use inductive reasoning to make a conjecture. This is followed by a proof in which students use deductive reasoning to justify their conjectures.
EXPLORE 1 Exploring Interior Angles in Triangles
INTEGRATE TECHNOLOGYStudents have the option of completing the interior angles in triangles activity either in the book or online.
QUESTIONING STRATEGIESWhat can you say about angles that come together to form a straight line? Why? The
sum of the angle measures must be 180° by the
definition of a straight angle and the Angle Addition
Postulate.
Is it possible for a triangle to have two obtuse angles? Why or why not? No; the sum of
these angles would be greater than 180°.
EXPLORE 2 Exploring Interior Angles in Polygons
AVOID COMMON ERRORSWhen attempting to determine the sum of the interior angles of a polygon, some students may divide the figure into too many triangles. For example, a student may draw both diagonals of a quadrilateral and conclude that the sum of the interior angles of a polygon is 720°. Point out that four of the angles of the triangles are not part of an interior angle of the quadrilateral, and demonstrate the correct division.

[# Explain 1 Using Interior AnglesYou can use the angle sum to determine the unknown measure of an angle of a polygon when you know the measures of the other angles.
Polygon Angle Sum Theorem
The sum of the measures of the interior angles of a convex polygon with n sides is (n – 2) 180°.
Example 1 Determine the unknown angle measures.
For the nonagon shown, find the unknown angle measure x°.
First, use the Polygon Angle Sum Theorem to find the sum of the interior angles:
n = 9
(n - 2)180° = (9 - 2)180° = (7)180° = 1260°
Then solve for the unknown angle measure, x°:
125 + 130 + 172 + 98 + 200 + 102 + 140 + 135 + x = 1260
x = 158

COLLABORATIVE LEARNING
Small Group ActivityGeometry software allows students to explore the theorems in this lesson. For the Triangle Sum Theorem and the Exterior Angle Theorem, students should construct a triangle, measure the three angles, and use the Calculate tool (in the Measure menu) to find the sum of the interior angle measures and also to find the sum of the exterior angles. As students drag the vertices of the triangle to change its shape, the individual angle measures will change, but the sum of the measures will remain 180° for the interior angles and 360° for the exterior angles.
QUESTIONING STRATEGIESHow do you use the sum of the angles of a triangle to find the sum of the interior angle
measures of a convex polygon? If a convex polygon
is broken up into triangles, then the sum of the
interior angles is the number of triangles times 180°.

Explain 2 Proving the Exterior Angle TheoremAn exterior angle is an angle formed by one side of a polygon and the extension of an adjacent side. Exterior angles form linear pairs with the interior angles.
A remote interior angle is an interior angle that is not adjacent to the exterior angle.
Example 2 Follow the steps to investigate the relationship between each exterior angle of a triangle and its remote interior angles.
Step 1 Use a straightedge to draw a triangle with angles 1, 2, and 3. Line up your straightedge along the side opposite angle 2. Extend the side from the vertex at angle 3. You have just constructed an exterior angle. The exterior angle is drawn supplementary to its adjacent interior angle.
Step 2 You know the sum of the measures of the interior angles of a triangle.
m∠1 + m∠2 + m∠3 = °
Since an exterior angle is supplementary to its adjacent interior angle, you also know:
m∠3 + m∠4 = °
Make a conjecture: What can you say about the measure of the exterior angle and the measures of its remote interior angles?
Conjecture:
The conjecture you made in Step 2 can be formally stated as a theorem.
Exterior Angle Theorem
The measure of an exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the measures of its remote interior angles.
Step 3 Complete the proof of the Exterior Angle Theorem.
∠4 is an exterior angle. It forms a linear pair with interior angle ∠3. Its remote interior angles are ∠1 and ∠2.
By the , m∠1 + m∠2 + m∠3 = 180°.
Also, m∠3 + m∠4 = because they are supplementary and make a straight angle.
By the Substitution Property of Equality, then, m∠1 + m∠2 + m∠3 = m∠ + m∠ .
Subtracting m∠3 from each side of this equation leaves .
This means that the measure of an exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the measures of the remote interior angles.

EXPLAIN 2 Proving the Exterior Angle Theorem
QUESTIONING STRATEGIESHow does finding the measure of an exterior angle differ from finding the measure of an
interior angle? The measure of an exterior angle is
the supplement of its adjacent interior angle
because the angles form linear pairs with the
interior angles. The measure of an interior angle is
not found by using linear pairs.
Why is the Exterior Angle Theorem sometimes called a corollary of the Triangle
Sum Theorem? because the Exterior Angle
Theorem follows from the Triangle Sum Theorem
LANAGUAGE SUPPORT

They then read their clues to the rest of the group, and the group must decide which polygon fits the clue.

The exterior angles will measure 140°, 120°, and 100°.
Their sum is 360°. Each exterior angle is equal to the sum

the sum of all 3 exterior angles includes each interior
angle twice.
Two exterior angles can be drawn from any vertex by extending either side, so a triangle

AVOID COMMON ERRORSSome students may confuse the theorems in this lesson and incorrectly assume that the sum of the interior angles of a polygon is 360°. Remind students of the Triangle Sum Theorem. Have them draw an equilateral triangle and show that its interior angle measures add to 180° and its exterior angle measures add to 360°.
EXPLAIN 3 Using Exterior Angles
INTEGRATE MATHEMATICAL PRACTICESFocus on PatternsMP.8 Encourage students to make a table listing the sums of the exterior angles of regular triangles, quadrilaterals, pentagons, and hexagons. Ask them what they notice about the sum of the exterior angles. (The sum is always 360°.) Ask them to find the pattern in the measure of each individual exterior angle for these regular polygons. (They each have the same measure.)
CONNECT VOCABULARY Help students understand the meanings of interior, exterior, and remote by writing the definitions on note cards. An interior angle is inside the figure, an exterior angle is outside the figure, and a remote interior angle is interior and away from the exterior angle. Relate the idea of a remote interior angle to a television remote control that sends a signal across the room and away from you.

Possible answer: The sum of the measures of the interior angles of a convex polygon
equals 180 (n - 2) °. You can use it to find an unknown measure of an interior angle of a
polygon when you know the measures of the other angles.
An exterior angle will be acute when paired with an obtuse adjacent interior angle;
therefore, the triangle must be obtuse. Since a triangle must have two or three acute
interior angles, at least two exterior angles must be obtuse.
The sum of the measures of the interior angles of a triangle is 180°. The sum of the
measures of the interior angles for any polygon can be found by the rule (n - 2) 180°,
where n represents the number of sides of the polygon. The measure of an exterior angle
of a triangle is equal to the sum of the measures of the two remote interior angles.

The house is perpendicular to the ground, so the other remote interior angle is 90°. 20 + 90 = 110, so the measure of the indicated exterior angle is 110°.

m∠ABC = 2 (m∠DBC) = 2 (15°) = 30°
30° + m∠ACB + 90° = 180°, so m∠ACB = 60°.
Then, m∠DCB = 1 _ 2
(m∠ACB) = 1 _ 2
(60°) = 30°.
15° + m∠BDC + 30° = 180°, so m∠BDC = 135°.
A regular hexagon; if the construction continues and the sides are kept congruent, the polygon will include six 120° angles and six congruent sides, so it is a regular hexagon.

AVOID COMMON ERRORSSome students may multiply the number of sides of a polygon by 180 to find the sum of the interior angles of the polygon. Remind them that the sum is based on the number of triangles. Since the sum of the angles of a triangle (3 sides) is 180°, to find the sum of the interior angles, they must subtract 2 from the number of sides before multiplying by 180.

26. Explain the Error Find and explain what this student did incorrectly when solving the following problem.
What type of polygon would have an interior angle sum of 1260°?
1260 = (n - 2) 180 7 = n - 2 5 = n
The polygon is a pentagon.
H.O.T. Focus on Higher Order Thinking
27. Communicate Mathematical Ideas Explain why if two angles of one triangle are congruent to two angles of another triangle, then the third pair of angles are also congruent.
Given: ∠L ≅ ∠R, ∠M ≅ ∠S
Prove: ∠N ≅ ∠T
28. Analyze Relationships Consider a right triangle. How would you describe the measures of its exterior angles? Explain.
29. Look for a Pattern In investigating different polygons, diagonals were drawn from a vertex to break the polygon into triangles. Recall that the number of triangles is always two less than the number of sides. But diagonals can be drawn from all vertices. Make a table where you compare the number of sides of a polygon with how many diagonals can be drawn (from all the vertices). Can you find a pattern in this table?
T S
MN
LR
The error is that the student subtracted 2 from both sides instead of adding 2. The value of n should be 9, and the polygon is a nonagon.
By the Triangle Sum Theorem, m∠L + m∠M + m∠N = 180° and m∠R + m∠S + m∠T = 180°. Since each set of angle measures total 180°, they are equal using the substitution property of equality. So, m∠L + m∠M + m∠N = m∠R + m∠S + m∠T. Since ∠L ≅ ∠R and ∠M ≅ ∠S, then m∠L = m∠R and m∠M = m∠S by the definition of congruence. Subtracting equals from both sides gives m∠N = m∠T. Then ∠N ≅ ∠T by the definition of congruence.
An exterior angle will be right when paired with a right adjacent interior angle. There can be only one right angle in a triangle. Since a triangle must have two or three acute interior angles, the other two exterior angles must be obtuse.

Lesson Performance TaskYou’ve been asked to design the board for a new game called Pentagons. The board consists of a repeating pattern of regular pentagons, a portion of which is shown in the illustration. When you write the specifications for the company that will make the board, you include the measurements of ∠BAD, ∠ABC, ∠BCD and ∠ADC. Find the measures of those angles and explain how you found them.

DB
108°
m∠BAD = m∠BCD = 36°
m∠ABC = m∠ADC = 144°
To find the measure of each interior angle of one of the pentagons, divide it
into three triangles. This gives the sum of the measures of the five angles of
the pentagon, 3 × 180° = 540°. Each angle measures 540° ÷ 5 = 108°.
Draw ̄ BD .
m∠ABD = 180° - 108° = 72°.
m∠ABC = m∠ADC = 2 × 72° = 144°
m∠BAD = m∠BCD = 180° - (72° + 72°) = 180° - 144° = 36°

EXTENSION ACTIVITY
Have students design and draw game boards consisting of congruent quadrilaterals, congruent pentagons, and/or congruent hexagons. Each design should show at least two different classes of polygons (for example, quadrilaterals and hexagons) and a total of at least six polygons. Students should write the measure of each angle directly on the figures, and write elsewhere an explanation of how, without protractors, they found each measure.
INTEGRATE MATHEMATICAL PRACTICESFocus on CommunicationMP.3 Direct students’ attention to quadrilateral ABCD. Ask:
• Without knowing anything about the angles of ABCD, how could you identify the type of quadrilateral that it is? What type is it? The sides of ABCD are sides of congruent
regular pentagons, so they are congruent.
A quadrilateral with four congruent sides is
a rhombus.
• What does the type of quadrilateral that ABCD is tell you about the angles of the figure? The
opposite angles are congruent. The adjacent
angles are supplementary.
INTEGRATE MATHEMATICAL PRACTICESFocus on Critical ThinkingMP.3 The perimeter of each pentagon in the diagram is 16 cm. What is the perimeter of quadrilateral ABCD? Explain. 12.8 cm; length of
each side of each pentagon = 16 cm ÷ 5 = 3.2 cm;
perimeter of ABCD = 4 x 3.2 = 12.8 cm
