Understanding Triangle Angles: Exploring Properties and Solving Problems

This lesson covers the properties of triangle angles, emphasizing that they sum to 180 degrees. It introduces transversals and their role in creating special angle properties, such as alternate and corresponding angles. The lesson explains how triangles can be formed using transversals and parallel lines, and demonstrates how to solve for missing angles using these concepts.
