Process (How to do the activity)

  • For given 2 angles, if the angles add to 180o, can you construct the triangle?
  • Is it possible to construct a triangle with only 2 given angles. What is the other parameter required for construction.
  • If any one side is specified, along with 2 angles how many triangles are possible.
  • If the side given is an included side, how many triangles are possible.

Evaluation at the end of the activity

  • Why should the given side be included side?
  • For the given A, A and S are the triangles AAS,  ASA and SAA congruent triangles.
