INVESTIGATION: TRIANGLE SUM THEOREM
My Team role for this investigation:__________________
Do the angle measures of a triangle have anything in common?
Step 1 Measure the three angles of each triangle as accurately as possible with your
protractor
Step 2 Find the sum of the measures of the three angles in each triangle. Compare
results with others in your group. Does everyone get about the same result?
If so, what is it?
Step 3 Check the sum another way. Write the letters a, b, and c in the interiors of the
three angles of one of the triangles.
Step 4 Tear off the three angles like shown to the right.
Step 5 Arrange the three angles so that their vertices meet at a point. How does this
arrangement show the sum of the angle measures? Compare your results with
others in your group. Complete the Theorem below.

INVESTIGATION Base Angles of an Isosceles Triangle
Let’s examine the angles of an isosceles triangle. Each person in your group should draw a different angle using your straightedge. Your group should have at least one acute angle and one obtuse angle.
