Math Problem Statement
What is the sum of the measures of the interior angles of a triangle?
Solution
The sum of the measures of the interior angles of a triangle is always 180 degrees.
This is a fundamental property of triangles in Euclidean geometry, and it holds true regardless of the type of triangle (whether it's equilateral, isosceles, or scalene).

Tip: A quick way to remember the sum of a triangle’s angles is to think about dividing a polygon into triangles! Each triangle contributes 180°, and a polygon’s total angle sum is the number of triangles (formed by diagonals) multiplied by 180°.
