4.1Example 1

SOLUTION

The triangle has a pair of congruent sides, so it is isosceles. By measuring, the angles are 55°, 55°, and 70° . It is an acute isosceles triangle.

Classify the triangular shape of the support beams in the diagram by its sides and by measuring its angles.

4.1Example 2

SOLUTION

STEP 1 Use the distance formula to find the side lengths.

Classify PQO by its sides. Then determine if the triangle is a right triangle.

OP = y2 – y1( )2x2 – x1( )2 + = 2 – 0( )2(– 1 ) 0( )2 +–

= 5 ≈ 2.2

OQ = y2 – y1( )2x2 – x1( )2 + 2= – 0( )6 0( )2 +– 3

= 45 ≈ 6.7

Page 6: 4.1 apply triangle sum properties

4.1Example 2

PQ = y2 – y1( )2x2 – x1( )2 + 3 – 2( )26( )2 +–= (– 1 )

= 50 ≈ 7.1

STEP 2 Check for right angles.

The slope of OP is 2 – 0 – 2 – 0

= – 2.

The slope of OQ is 3 – 0 6 – 0

=21 .

Therefore, PQO is a right scalene triangle.

ANSWER

1The product of the slopes is – 2

2 = – 1,

so OP OQ and POQ is a right angle.

Find mJKM.

Example 3

SOLUTION

STEP 1 Write and solve an equation to find the value of x.

Apply the Exterior Angle Theorem.(2x – 5)° = 70° + x°

Solve for x.x = 75

The measure of ∠ JKM is 145°.ANSWER

STEP 2Substitute 75 for x in 2x – 5 to find m∠ JKM.

2x – 5 = 2 75 – 5 = 145.

The tiled staircase shown forms a right triangle. The measure of one acute angle in the triangle is twice the measure of the other. Find the measure of each acute angle.

Example 4

ARCHITECTURE

SOLUTION

First, sketch a diagram of the situation. Let the measure of the smaller acute angle be x°. Then the measure of the larger acute angle is 2x°. The Corollary to the Triangle Sum Theorem states that the acute angles of a right triangle are complementary.

Page 13: 4.1 apply triangle sum properties

4.1Example 4

Use the corollary to set up and solve an equation.

Corollary to the Triangle Sum Theoremx° + 2x° = 90°

Solve for x.x = 30

So, the measures of the acute angles are 30° and 2(30°) = 60°.
