Eureka Math Geometry Module 1 Lesson 8 Exercise Answer Key
Opening Exercise
Find the measure of angle x in the figure to the right. Explain your calculations. (Hint: Draw an auxiliary line segment.)
Answer:
m∠x=37°
The angle with the measure of 72° can be divided two angles. One measures 35° (corresponding angles). Then the other angle has a measure of 37° (partition property).
Discussion
The sum of the 3 angle measures of any triangle is ___.
Answer:
The sum of the 3 angle measures of any triangle is 180°.
INTERIOR OF A TRIANGLE: A point lies in the interior of a triangle if it lies in the interior of each of the angles of the triangle.
In any triangle, the measure of the exterior angle is equal to the sum of the measures of the ___ angles. These are sometimes also known as ___ angles.
Answer:
In any triangle, the measure of the exterior angle is equal to the sum of the measures of the opposite interior angles. These are sometimes also known as remote interior angles.
Base angles of an __ triangle are equal in measure.
Answer:
Base angles of an isosceles triangle are equal in measure.
Each angle of an __ triangle has a measure equal to 60°.
Answer:
Each angle of an equilateral triangle has a measure equal to 60°.
