extend previous knowledge of triangles and their properties to include the sum of angles of a triangle, the relationship between the lengths of sides and measures of angles in a triangle, and determining when three lengths form a triangle
Instruction

Students also learn about angle-side relationships and about the triangle inequality theorem.
