Triangle Sides and Angles Flashcard

Front

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

Back

The sum of the interior angles of a triangle is always 180 degrees.

Front

What is the Triangle Inequality Theorem?

Back

The Triangle Inequality Theorem states that the sum of the lengths of any two sides of a triangle must be greater than the length of the third side.

Front

Can a triangle have one angle greater than 90 degrees?

Back

Yes, a triangle can have one angle greater than 90 degrees; it is called an obtuse triangle.

Front

What type of triangle has all sides of equal length?

Back

An equilateral triangle has all sides of equal length.

Front

What is a right triangle?

Back

A right triangle is a triangle that has one angle measuring 90 degrees.

Front

If two angles of a triangle are known, how can you find the third angle?

Back

You can find the third angle by subtracting the sum of the known angles from 180 degrees.

Front

What is the relationship between the sides and angles in a triangle?

Back

In a triangle, the larger the angle, the longer the opposite side.

Front

What is the definition of a scalene triangle?

Back

A scalene triangle is a triangle with all sides of different lengths.

Front

How can you determine if three lengths can form a triangle?

Back

Use the Triangle Inequality Theorem: the sum of any two sides must be greater than the third side.

Front

What is an isosceles triangle?

Back

An isosceles triangle is a triangle that has at least two sides of equal length.
