Interior angle measurement

Question

can 10 degrees, 10 degrees and 160 degrees be an interior measurement of a triangle?

Answer 1

Hi Emily,

The interior angles of a triangle must always equal the same number. For a triangle, the three angles must add up to 180 degrees.

The triangle that you have would fit that criteria because 10 + 10 + 160 = 180 so those three measurements should be able to make a triangle.
