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

Back

The other two angles must sum 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.

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.

If one angle of a triangle is 45 degrees and another is 55 degrees, what is the measure of the third angle?

Back

The third angle measures 80 degrees (180 - 45 - 55 = 80).
