Angles in a Triangle
The angles in a triangle add up to 180°. You can use this information to solve triangle problems.


The angles in a triangle add to 180°
The angles in a triangle add to 180°
- So you need to subtract the sum of the given angles from 180 degrees to work out the missing angle.


Work out the sum of given angles
Work out the sum of given angles
- You have been given the top angle - 45°.
- We know that the other angle is a right angle by looking at it - that means it is 90°.


The sum of the given angles
The sum of the given angles
- 90 + 45 = 135°.

Working out the missing angle
Working out the missing angle
- So the missing angle is 180 - 135.
- The missing angle is 45°.
