If one angle of a triangle is 90 degrees, what can you say about the other two angles?

Back

The other two angles must add up to 90 degrees, making the triangle a right triangle.

What is the Exterior Angle Theorem?

Back

The Exterior Angle Theorem states that the measure of an exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the measures of the two non-adjacent interior angles.

How do you find the measure of an unknown angle in a triangle?

Back

To find an unknown angle, subtract the sum of the known angles from 180 degrees.

If angle A is 50 degrees and angle B is 60 degrees, what is angle C?

Back

Angle C = 180 - (50 + 60) = 70 degrees.

What is the measure of an angle if the other two angles in a triangle are 45 degrees and 85 degrees?

Back

The measure of the angle is 50 degrees.

Front

Can a triangle have two obtuse angles?

Back

No, a triangle cannot have two obtuse angles because the sum of the angles would exceed 180 degrees.
