How to approach triangle properties

Every triangle has interior angles totaling 180°. Triangles can be classified by side lengths or angle measures, and their side lengths must satisfy the triangle inequality.

Use congruence markings and stated measurements rather than visual estimates. An isosceles triangle's equal sides lie opposite equal base angles.

Learning objectives

  • Find missing triangle angles
  • Classify triangles
  • Apply triangle inequality and isosceles properties

Skills to review first

  • Angle measurement
  • Solving simple equations
  • Comparing side lengths
Worked example

Follow the reasoning step by step

A triangle has angles 48° and 67°. Find the third angle.

  1. Triangle angles total 180°.
  2. Add known angles: 48 + 67 = 115.
  3. Subtract 115 from 180.
  4. Check that all three measures total 180°.

Solution: 65°.

Common mistakes to watch for

  • Using 360° for a triangle's angle sum
  • Matching equal angles with adjacent instead of opposite sides
  • Checking only one triangle-inequality pair
