1. Angles of Triangles
Sign In
Consider the Triangle Sum Theorem.
B, D, E, and F
According to the Triangle Sum Theorem, the sum of the measures of the interior angles of a triangle is 180^(∘). Therefore, if the sum of a set of angles add up to 180^(∘), we know that set could form a triangle.
| Set | Sum of Angles | Value of the Sum |
|---|---|---|
| A | 100^(∘)+50^(∘)+40^(∘) | 190^(∘) * |
| B | 96^(∘)+74^(∘)+10^(∘) | 180^(∘) ✓ |
| C | 165^(∘)+113^(∘)+82^(∘) | 360^(∘) * |
| D | 101^(∘)+41^(∘)+38^(∘) | 180^(∘) ✓ |
| E | 90^(∘)+45^(∘)+45^(∘) | 180^(∘) ✓ |
| F | 84^(∘)+62^(∘)+34^(∘) | 180^(∘) ✓ |
The angles which add to 180^(∘) are the ones of choices B, D, E, and F.
