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°
