What is an interior angle of a triangle?

Back

An interior angle is formed by two sides of a triangle that meet at a vertex, and the sum of the interior angles in a triangle is always 180 degrees.

What is an exterior angle of a triangle?

Back

An exterior angle is formed by one side of a triangle and the extension of an adjacent side. The measure of an exterior angle is equal to the sum of the two opposite interior angles.

How do you calculate the measure of an interior angle if you know the other two angles?

Back

Subtract the sum of the known interior angles from 180 degrees.

What is the relationship between the exterior angle and the interior angles of a triangle?

Back

The exterior angle is equal to the sum of the two non-adjacent interior angles.

If one interior angle of a triangle is 70 degrees and another is 56 degrees, what is the third angle?

Back

The third angle is 54 degrees (180 - 70 - 56 = 54).

How can you determine if two triangles are similar using angle-angle (AA) similarity?

Back

If two angles of one triangle are equal to two angles of another triangle, then the triangles are similar.
