Triangle Angle Sum Thm: The sum of all three angles is 180°.

1. In an acute triangle, the measures of two angles are 50° and


60°. What is the measure of the third angle?
2. In an obtuse triangle, the measures of two angles are 120° and
10°. What is the measure of the third angle?
3. One acute angle of a right triangle measures 35°. What is the
measure of the other acute angle?
4. If two of the three angles in a triangle have measure 34º and
72º, what is the measure of the third angle?
5. Find the angle measures of a triangle if the second angle
measures 10 degrees less than twice the first, and the third
angle measures 25 degrees more than the second.
6. The measure of the second angle is 15 degrees more than the measure
of the first angle. The measure of the third angle is 45 degrees more than
the measure of the first angle. Find the measures of the interior angles in
the triangle.
7. In a triangle ABC, ∠ A = 2X+7, ∠ B = 5X-15, and ∠ C = 6X.
What is the value of x and what are the measures of angles A,
B, and C?
8. In a triangle XYZ, ∠ X = 37°, ∠ Y = 45°, and ∠ Z = 3x + 6. What
is the value of x and what is the measure of ∠Z?
9. Two angles of a triangle have equal measures, but the third
angle's measure is 36° less than the sum of the other two. Find
the measure of each angle of the triangle.
10. Find the measures of the angles of an isosceles triangle if the
measure of the vertex angle is 40 degrees less than the sum of
the measures of the base angles.
