OBJECTIVE
Students will Classify triangles and find the measures of their angles. Use the exterior angles of triangles to find other angles of the triangles.

ACB = 90 c + 70 = 90 c = 20
Definition of right angle Angle Addition Postulate Subtract 70 from each side.

To find a, use
a+m
ADC.
Triangle Angle-Sum Theorem Definition of perpendicular lines Substitute 90 for m ADC and 20 for c. Simplify. Subtract 110 from each side. Triangle Angle-Sum Theorem Definition of perpendicular lines Substitute 90 for m Simplify. Subtract 160 from each side. 3-3 CDB.
The three sides of the triangle have three different lengths, so the triangle is scalene.
One angle has a measure greater than 90, so the triangle is obtuse. The triangle is an obtuse scalene triangle.
