What is an interior angle of a triangle?

Back

An interior angle of a triangle is an angle formed by two sides of the triangle that is located inside the triangle.

Front

What is an exterior angle of a triangle?

Back

An exterior angle of a triangle is formed by one side of the triangle and the extension of an adjacent side.

Front

How do you calculate an exterior angle of a triangle?

Back

An exterior angle is equal to the sum of the two opposite interior angles.

If one angle of a triangle is 70° and another is 60°, what is the measure of the third angle?

Back

The third angle is 50° (180° - 70° - 60° = 50°).

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

Back

The measure of the third angle is 90° (180° - 45° - 45° = 90°).

What is the sum of the interior angles of a triangle with angles measuring 50°, 60°, and 70°?

Back

The sum is 180° (50° + 60° + 70° = 180°).
