Interior Angles
The interior angles of a triangle are the angles inside the triangle
Properties of Interior Angles
- The sum of the three interior angles in a triangle is always 180°.
- Since the interior angles add up to 180°, every angle must be less than 180°.
Find missing angles inside a triangle
Example:
Find the value of x in the following triangle.
Solution:
x + 24° + 32° = 180° (sum of angles is 180°)
x + 56° = 180°
x = 180° – 56° = 124°
Example:
Find the missing angle in a triangle.
A = 15°, B = ?, C = 92°
