1. Angles of Triangles
Sign In
Consider the Triangle Angle-Sum Theorem.
m∠1=60^(∘)
Triangle: Equiangular
Let's analyze the given triangle.
We can see that both interior angles are 60^(∘). According to the Triangle Angle-Sum Theorem the measures of the interior angles of a triangle add to 180^(∘). Let's write this as an equation.
The measure of ∠1 is also 60^(∘). Now, we can classify the triangle by its angles.
| Type | Angles |
|---|---|
| Acute | 3 acute angles |
| Right | 1 right angle |
| Obtuse | 1 obtuse angle |
| Equiangular | 3 congruent angles |
In our case, since all the angles are equal 60^(∘), they are congruent. Therefore, we know that the triangle is equiangular.
