Example Question #1 : How To Find The Measure Of An Angle

What is the sum of the interior angles of a triangle?

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

The sum of the three interior angles of a triangle is  degrees.

Example Question #1 : How To Find The Measure Of An Angle

Two of the interior angles of a triangle measure  and . What is the greatest measure of any of its exterior angles?

Possible Answers:

It cannot be determined from the information given.

Correct answer:

Explanation:

The interior angles of a triangle must have measures whose sum is , so the measure of the third angle must be .

By the Triangle Exterior-Angle Theorem, an exterior angle of a triangle measures the sum of its remote interior angles; therefore, to get the greatest measure of any exterior angle, we add the two greatest interior angle measures: 

Example Question #1 : How To Find An Angle Of A Line

Two angles are supplementary and have a ratio of 1:4.  What is the size of the smaller angle?

Possible Answers:

45^{\circ}

72^{\circ}

144^{\circ}

36^{\circ}

18^{\circ}

Correct answer:

36^{\circ}

Explanation:

Since the angles are supplementary, their sum is 180 degrees.  Because they are in a ratio of 1:4, the following expression could be written:

x+4x=180

5x=180

x=36^{\circ}
