Example Calculation

Right Triangle Example

Given: Angle A = 45°, Angle B = 90°

Calculate Angle C: C = 180° - 45° - 90° = 45°

Exterior Angles:

  • Exterior at A = 180° - 45° = 135°
  • Exterior at B = 180° - 90° = 90°
  • Exterior at C = 180° - 45° = 135°

Verification: 135° + 90° + 135° = 360° ✓

Understanding Interior and Exterior Triangle Angles

Interior Angles

Interior angles are the angles inside a triangle. The most fundamental property of triangles is that the sum of all interior angles always equals 180° (or π radians). This is known as the Triangle Angle Sum Theorem.

Key Properties

  • Sum of interior angles = 180°
  • Each angle must be greater than 0° and less than 180°
  • If two angles are known, the third can be calculated
  • Angle measures determine triangle type

Exterior Angles

An exterior angle is formed when any side of a triangle is extended. Each vertex has two exterior angles that are equal to each other. The exterior angle equals the sum of the two opposite interior angles.

Exterior Angle Properties

  • Exterior angle = 180° - interior angle
  • Exterior angle = sum of two opposite interior angles
  • Sum of all exterior angles = 360°
  • Each triangle has 6 exterior angles (2 at each vertex)

Key Formulas

Interior Angles

A + B + C = 180°
A = 180° - B - C
B = 180° - A - C
C = 180° - A - B

Exterior Angles

Ext_A = 180° - A = B + C
Ext_B = 180° - B = A + C
Ext_C = 180° - C = A + B
Ext_A + Ext_B + Ext_C = 360°
