It’s all a matter of degree
• Degrees in a circle - 360• Degrees in a line - 180• Degrees in a right angle – 90• Degrees in a triangle – 180• Degrees in a quadrilateral - 360

To Scale or Not to Scale?
• That is the question. In the instructions for the ACT, the test writers say that the diagrams are “NOT” necessarily drawn to scale.
• Not one test has ever had a diagram not drawn to scale. So use this fact to help you on the test.

Example 1
• How big is the angle?
• Obviously, you don’t know exactly how big this angle is, but it’s easy to compare it with an angle you do know. Estimate.

Example 2
• In the figure, O,N, and M are collinear. If the lengths of ON and NL are the same, and the measure of angle LON is 30 and the measure of LMN is 40, What is the measure of angle NLM?

TRIANGLES
• Triangle Sum Theorem• Isosceles• Right• Equilateral• Pythagorean Theorem• Size of angles compared to length of sides

Triangles (cont’d.)
• There are 3 very common Pythagorean triples used on the ACT’s
3 - 4 - 5 (and it’s multiples)
5 - 12 - 13
7 - 24 - 25

Area of a Triangle
A = ½ bh
Height is measured as the perpendicular distance from the base of the triangle to its highest point.

ACT Triangle Problems
• Most of the triangle problems on the ACT combine several of the triangle concepts we just reviewed. Be flexible, and look for clues as to which concepts are being tested.
