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 an interior angle of a triangle?

Back

An interior angle is an angle formed inside a triangle by two sides.

Front

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.

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 40° and the exterior angle is 120°, what is the measure of the other interior angle?

Back

The other interior angle is 60° (120° - 40° = 80°, and 180° - 80° = 100°).
