If one angle of a triangle measures 90 degrees and another measures 40 degrees, what is the measure of the third angle?

Back

The third angle measures 50 degrees (180 - 90 - 40 = 50).

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 opposite interior angles.

If angle A is 30 degrees and angle B is 50 degrees, what is the measure of the exterior angle C?

Back

The exterior angle C measures 80 degrees (30 + 50 = 80).

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

Back

The sum of the measures of the interior angles is 180 degrees, while each exterior angle is equal to the sum of the two opposite interior angles.

What is the formula to calculate the sum of the interior angles of a polygon?

Back

The sum of the interior angles of a polygon with n sides is (n-2) * 180 degrees.

Front

In a triangle, if one angle is twice the size of another angle, and the third angle is 30 degrees, what are the measures of the other two angles?

Back

Let the smaller angle be x. Then the angles are x, 2x, and 30. Solving gives x = 10 degrees and 2x = 20 degrees.
