Lesson 14: Practice Problems

Problem 1

For each triangle, find the measure of the missing angle.

  1. triangle with angles measured 28 degrees and 128 degrees
  2. triangle with angles measured 38 degrees and 122 degrees
  3. triangle with angles measured 20 degrees and 72 degrees
  4. triangle with angles measured 56 degrees and 89 degrees

Problem 2

Is there a triangle with two right angles? Explain your reasoning.

Problem 3

  2. What is ?

  3. What is ?

Problem 4

The two figures are congruent.

  1. Label the points , and that correspond to , , and in the figure on the right.

    Figure ABC and a congruent copy with 3 points noted but not labeled. The second figure has had a transformation performed on it.
  2. If segment measures 2 cm, how long is segment ? Explain.

  3. The point is shown in addition to and . How can you find the point that corresponds to ? Explain your reasoning.

    The same figures but not with a point D added on original figure.

Problem 5

Here is a diagram of triangle .

Three intersecting lines form triangle DEF. Angle s is opposite F, q is opposite D and adjacent to D is 80 degrees, r is opposite E and adjacent to E is 45 degrees.
  1. Find the measures of angles , , and .

  2. Find the sum of the measures of angles , , and .

  3. What do you notice about these three angles?
