You're working on a
“Finding the Angle Sum of a Triangle” worksheet. The key concept here is:
>
The sum of the interior angles in any triangle is always 180°.
So, to find a missing angle in a triangle when you know the other two, you subtract the sum of the known angles from 180°.

Let’s solve each problem step by step.

Problem 1a (Already Solved for You)
Given: Two angles = 75° and 75°
Missing angle x = 180° – 75° – 75° =
30°
✔ Correct!
---
Problem 1b
Angles given: 60° and 70°
Missing angle = 180° – 60° – 70° =
50°
✔ So,
x = 50°
---
Problem 1c
Angles given: 90° and 44°
Missing angle = 180° – 90° – 44° =
46°
✔ So,
x = 46°
---
Problem 1d
Angles given: 41° and 76°
Missing angle = 180° – 41° – 76° =
63°
✔ So,
x = 63°
---
Problem 1e
Angles given: 30° and 25°
Missing angle = 180° – 30° – 25° =
125°
✔ So,
x = 125°
*(Note: This is an obtuse triangle — one angle > 90° — which is perfectly valid!)*
---
Problem 1f
Angles given: 95° and 40°
Missing angle = 180° – 95° – 40° =
45°
✔ So,
x = 45°
---
##
✔ Final Answers:
| Problem | Missing Angle |
|---------|----------------|
| a | 30° |
| b | 50° |
| c | 46° |
| d | 63° |
| e | 125° |
| f | 45° |

## 💡 Tip for Students:
Always remember:
>
Angle 1 + Angle 2 + Angle 3 = 180°
So if you’re missing one angle, just do:
>
Missing angle = 180° – (sum of the other two)
This works for
all triangles — equilateral, isosceles, scalene, right, acute, or obtuse!
Let me know if you want help with Problem 2 as well — it looks like it involves straight lines (180°) and triangles together. Just say the word! 😊
