Types of triangles Obtuse angle Acute angle Right angle Straight angle Supplementary angles Complementary anglesHere you will learn about angles of a triangle including what the sum of both interior and exterior angles of a triangle are, how to find missing angles, and how to use this alongside other angle facts to form and solve equations.
Students will first learn about angles of a triangle as a part of geometry in katex is not definedth grade and will extend their knowledge throughout high school geometry.
Angles of a triangle refer to the sum of the angles of a triangle, found at each vertex in a triangle.
A triangle has both interior angles and exterior angles.

DOWNLOAD FREEInterior angles of a triangle are angles that are formed inside a triangle by its three sides. Each interior angle is formed by two adjacent sides of the triangle.
The sum of the interior angles of a triangle is katex is not defined
For example,
The exterior angles of a triangle are angles that are formed on the outside of the triangle when its sides are extended.
The sum of exterior angles of a triangle is katex is not defined
The exterior angle is also equal to the sum of the two opposite interior angles. Each exterior angle is supplementary to its adjacent interior angle.
Sometimes the problem will involve using other angle facts. Let’s recap some of the other important angle facts:
How does this relate to katex is not definedth grade math and high school math?
In order to find the measure of a missing angle of a triangle:
Find the measure of the unknown angle labeled a in the following triangle:
The angles katex is not defined and katex is not defined are given. Add these together:
katex is not defined2Subtract this total from katex is not defined
Subtract katex is not defined from katex is not defined
katex is not definedFind the measure of the unknown angle labeled b in the following triangle:
Add up the angles that are given within the triangle.
The angles katex is not defined and katex is not defined are given. Add these together:
katex is not defined
Subtract this total from katex is not defined
Subtract katex is not defined from katex is not defined
katex is not defined
Find the measure of the unknown angle labeled katex is not defined in the following triangle:
When two sides of a triangle are equal, the angles at the ends of those sides will also be equal.
Add up the angles that are given within the triangle.
The angle katex is not defined is given. This is an isosceles triangle (two equal length sides and two equal angles), so the other angle at the bottom will also be katex is not defined
katex is not defined
Subtract this total from katex is not defined
Subtract katex is not defined from katex is not defined
katex is not defined
In order to find the missing angle of a triangle using other angle facts:
Find the measure of the angle labeled katex is not defined
Use angle facts to identify all possible angles.
Angles at a point add up to katex is not defined so you can subtract the known exterior angle from katex is not defined
katex is not defined
Calculate the missing angles in the triangle.
With the measure of two angles within the triangle, you can find the missing angle:
katex is not defined
Find the measure of the angle labeled katex is not defined
Use angle facts to identify all possible angles.
You are given two of the angles in the triangle, so start by finding the third angle:
katex is not defined
Calculate the missing angles in the triangle.
Use the fact that opposite angles are equal to find katex is not defined
katex is not defined
Find the measure of the angle labeled katex is not defined
Use angle facts to identify all possible angles.
You know two of the angles in the triangle on the right, so now calculate the third.
katex is not defined
Calculate the missing angles in the triangle.
You can use the fact that angles on a straight line add up to katex is not defined
katex is not defined
Since the sides of the triangle are equal, the triangle on the left is an isosceles triangle and the two angles at the bottom of the triangle are equal. Therefore you can find the third angle.
1. Find the measure of the angle katex is not defined in the following triangle:
2. Find the measure of the angle katex is not defined
This is an isosceles triangle and the two angles at the bottom of the triangle are equal.
katex is not defined
3. Find the measure of angle katex is not defined in the following triangle:
This is an isosceles triangle and the two angles on the right are equal.
katex is not defined
katex is not defined
4. What is the size of each angle in an equilateral triangle?
An equilateral triangle has three equal sides so
katex is not defined
5. Find the measure of the angle labeled katex is not defined in the following triangle:
The angle opposite katex is not defined is also katex is not defined since vertically opposite angles are equal. The triangle is an isosceles triangle and the two angles on the left are the same size.
katex is not defined
katex is not defined
6. Find the measure of the angle labeled katex is not defined
Let’s find the missing angle in the triangle on the left first,
katex is not defined
Then use the fact that angles on a straight line add up to katex is not defined to find the unlabeled angle in the right hand triangle.
katex is not defined
Now, find angle katex is not defined
katex is not defined
No, the interior angles within a triangle can vary depending on the triangle. However, all of the measures of angles within a triangle will always equal katex is not defined degrees.
Each exterior angle of a triangle is supplementary to its adjacent interior angle. The sum of each exterior angle and its adjacent interior angle will equal katex is not defined degrees.
The Law of Sines is a principle in trigonometry that relates the side lengths of a triangle to the sines of its angles. It states that in any triangle, the ration of the length of a side to the sine of its opposite angle is constant for all three sides. It can be expressed as:
katex is not defined
