How to solve

The three interior angles of any triangle form a half-turn: they always add to 180°. Once two angles are known, the third is whatever remains to complete that sum.

Steps

  1. Recall that the interior angles sum to 180°.
  2. Add the known angles.
  3. Subtract that total from 180° to find the missing angle.

Example

A triangle has angles 50° and 65°. Find the third angle.

  1. 50° + 65° = 115°.
  2. Missing angle = 180° − 115° = 65°.

Answer: 65
