Will the following three angles form a triangle? 30°, 60°, 90°

Back

Yes, because 30 + 60 + 90 = 180 degrees.

Front

If one angle of a triangle is 50 degrees and another is 60 degrees, what is the measure of the third angle?

Back

The third angle is 70 degrees (50 + 60 + x = 180, so x = 70).

If a triangle has angles measuring 40 degrees and 100 degrees, will it form a triangle?

Back

No, because 40 + 100 = 140, which is less than 180 degrees.
