Question

Explain how you can use the triangle sum theorem to find the measures of the angles of an equilateral triangle

Answer 1

The triangle Sum Theorem says that the sum of all the angles in a triangle has to equal 180 degrees. Since all three sides (and, consequently, angles) in an equilateral triangle are the same, you can divide 180 by 3 to find the measure of any angle of an equilateral triangle (60 degrees).
