Triangle Angle Sum Property
A triangle is a polygon with three sides and three interior angles. Each side is conventionally labeled with a lowercase letter matching the uppercase letter of its opposite vertex — in , side faces vertex , side faces vertex , and side faces vertex . The plural of vertex is vertices, and a triangle is named by listing its three vertices (e.g., ).
The three interior angles of every triangle satisfy:
where is read as "the measure of angle ." This property holds for all triangles regardless of shape or size, so whenever two angles are known, the third can be found by subtracting their sum from .
