Apply the triangle theorems directly to find missing values.

$Triangle PQR with angles 47° at P, 68° at Q, and an unknown angle at R.$

In triangle $PQR$ , $m\angle P = 47^\circ$ and $m\angle Q = 68^\circ$ . Find $m\angle R$ .

Which theorem from HSG.CO.C.9 is the essential step in the proof of the Triangle Angle Sum Theorem?

Vertical Angles Theorem — vertical angles at a point sum to 180°

Alternate Interior Angles Theorem — when a transversal cuts parallel lines, alternate interior angles are congruent

Exterior Angle Theorem — an exterior angle equals the sum of the two remote interior angles

Corresponding Angles Postulate — corresponding angles formed by a transversal are supplementary

$Isosceles triangle ABC with vertex angle 50° at A and equal legs AB = AC. The base angle at B is unknown.$

Isosceles triangle $ABC$ has $AB = AC$ . The vertex angle measures $\angle A = 50^\circ$ . Find $m\angle B$ .

In equilateral triangle $XYZ$ , all three sides are equal. What is $m\angle X$ ?

In triangle $ABC$ , $D$ is the midpoint of $\overline{AB}$ and $E$ is the midpoint of $\overline{AC}$ . If $BC = 24$ , find the length of midsegment $\overline{DE}$ .
