Geometry Word Problems - Angles of a Triangle
Students are asked to solve word problems that involve the triangle sum theorem. Students also learn the exterior angle theorem, which states that the exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the measures of the remote interior angles. Students are then asked to solve problems related to the exterior angle theorem using Algebra.
Example:
The measure of the angles of a triangle are in the ratio 2:5:8. Find the measure of each angle.

Geometry Word Problems - Supplementary Angles
Students are given word problems involving complementary and supplementary angles that require the student to set up an equation to find the measures of the given angles.
Example:
Find the measures of two supplementary angles if three times the measure of one angle is 12 degrees less than the measure of the other.
