Triangle Angles on a Line

The three angles of a triangle can be placed together. They then form a straight line, which is 180 degrees.

In the picture

  1. The triangle: a three-sided shape with three angles
  2. The red angle: one angle of the triangle, detached
  3. The blue angle: another angle of the triangle, detached
  4. The green angle: the third angle of the triangle, detached
  5. The straight line: the three detached angles placed together

Examples

  • A triangular road sign: its three angles together form a straight line.
