Triangle Angle Theorems (V2)

[color=#000000]Interact with the applet below for a few minutes.  [br]Then, answer the questions that follow.  [br][br]Be sure to change the locations of the triangle's WHITE VERTICES each time [i]before[/i] you drag the slider!!![br][br][/color]
1.
What geometric transformations took place in the applet above?
2.
[color=#000000]When working with the triangle's interior angles, did any of these transformations change the measures of the [/color][color=#0000ff]blue[/color] [color=#000000]or[/color] [color=#6aa84f]green[/color] [color=#000000]angles?  [/color]
3.
From your observations, what is the sum of the measures of the interior angles of [i]any triangle? [/i]
4.
[color=#000000]When working with the triangle's exterior angles, did any of these transformations change the measures of the [/color][color=#980000]maroon[/color][color=#000000] or [/color][color=#6aa84f]green[/color][color=#000000] angles?[/color]
5.
From your observations, what is the sum of the measures of the exterior angles of [i]any triangle? [/i]
