What is the measure of an angle if its exterior angle is 120 degrees?

Back

The measure of the interior angle is 60 degrees, since the exterior angle equals the sum of the two non-adjacent interior angles.

How can you determine if a triangle is acute, right, or obtuse based on its angles?

Back

A triangle is acute if all angles are less than 90 degrees, right if one angle is exactly 90 degrees, and obtuse if one angle is greater than 90 degrees.
