Do you think that<br />
the sum of the<br />
interior angles and<br />
the exterior angles<br />
is the same for all<br />
triangles Explain.<br />

6. Marcel’s crew builds A-frame cabins in Tofino.<br />
• The balcony is parallel to the base of a cabin.<br />
• The front of this cabin is an equilateral triangle.<br />
• The section above the balcony is also an<br />
equilateral triangle.<br />
Marcel wonders about this question.<br />
• Does drawing a line parallel to the base of any<br />
triangle create a second triangle with angles that<br />
are equal to those in the original triangle<br />
a) Test Marcel’s idea.<br />
• Draw a triangle. Draw a line through your triangle so<br />
that the line is parallel to the base.<br />
Are the angles in the small triangle equal to the angles in<br />
the large triangle<br />
yes<br />
b) Compare your results with a classmate’s results.<br />
Did your classmate get the same results<br />
yes<br />
c) Will adding a line that is parallel to the base always create<br />
a smaller triangle with the same angles Explain.<br />

Hint<br />
One way to draw<br />
parallel lines is to<br />
draw along both<br />
sides of a ruler.<br />
6. a) e.g.,<br />
Yes. e.g., One angle is shared by both triangles. The other two angles are corresponding<br />
angles, formed by transversals that meet the parallel lines at the same angle. So each<br />
angle in the small triangle has a matching equal angle in the large triangle.<br />
