- A red triangle corner: one of the three inside angles.
- A blue triangle corner: another inside angle of the same triangle.
- A yellow triangle corner: the third inside angle, completing the straight line.
Examples
- A triangular road sign: if two corner angles are known, the third can be found.
- A triangular roof support: its three inside angles add to a straight angle.
Key takeaways
- The three inside angles of any triangle add to 180 degrees.
- If you know two angles, subtract their sum from 180 to find the missing angle.
