4. Use the angle measures to calculate the unknown angles<br />

in each triangle. Include interior angles and exterior angles.<br />

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 />
