## HMH Into Math Grade 7 Module 9 Lesson 3 Answer Key Draw and Construct Triangles Given Angle Measures

I Can determine whether it is possible to draw a triangle with three given angle measures. If it is, I can construct such a triangle.

A town is designing triangular flower beds for a park. Is it possible to choose three angle measures that will not form a triangle? If so, draw several examples.

90°, 90°, 90°  is not possible to choose three angle measures that will not form a triangle.

Explanation:
Sum of the three angles in triangle is 180 degrees.
So, if three angles are of 90 degrees than the sum is 90 + 90 + 90 = 240 degrees.

Turn and Talk Pick one of your examples above and describe how you could revise your drawing to form a triangle.
60°, 60° and 60° three angle measures that can form a triangle

Explanation:
