Front

What is an acute angle?

Back

An acute angle is an angle that measures less than 90 degrees.

Front

What is a right angle?

Back

A right angle is an angle that measures exactly 90 degrees.

Front

What is an obtuse angle?

Back

An obtuse angle is an angle that measures more than 90 degrees but less than 180 degrees.

Front

What is the relationship between the angles in a right triangle?

Back

In a right triangle, one angle is 90 degrees, and the sum of the other two angles is 90 degrees.

Front

What is the exterior angle theorem?

Back

The exterior angle theorem states that the measure of an exterior angle is equal to the sum of the measures of the two non-adjacent interior angles.

Front

How do you find the measure of an unknown angle in a triangle?

Back

To find the measure of an unknown angle in a triangle, subtract the sum of the known angles from 180 degrees.

Front

What is the formula for the angles in an isosceles triangle?

Back
