Math Problem Statement

What is the sum of the angle measures in this shape?

Solution

The shape in the image is a triangle. According to basic geometry, the sum of the interior angles of any triangle is always 180 degrees.

So, regardless of the type of triangle (scalene, isosceles, or equilateral), the sum of its angles will always be 180 degrees.

  2. How can we calculate the angles in a right triangle if one of the angles is known?
  3. What is the exterior angle theorem for triangles?
  4. How does the sum of angles in polygons work for shapes like quadrilaterals?
  5. What happens if the sum of angles in a triangle is greater than or less than 180 degrees?

Tip: When working with any polygon, remember that the sum of the interior angles is calculated with the formula:
Sum of interior angles = (n-2) × 180, where "n" is the number of sides.
