Three Corners on a Straight Edge

The three inside corners of a triangle can be placed along a straight edge. The red, blue, and yellow corners fit together to make one straight line.

In the picture

  1. A red triangle corner: one of the three inside angles.
  2. A blue triangle corner: another inside angle of the same triangle.
  3. 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.
