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.

If two angles of a triangle are 50 degrees and 60 degrees, what is the measure of the third angle?

Back

The third angle measures 70 degrees (180 - 50 - 60 = 70).
