For any shaped shaped triangle in 2-dimensions , the sum of the interiod aangles is 180 degrees.

However, if the triangle is drawn across the surface of a sphere ( 3- dimensional) , the Earth, then the sum of the interior angles can be greater that 180 degrees.

e.g. At the pole longitude 0 o and 90 o W have 90 degrees betwen them. Take these longitudes to the Equator, they both intersect the Equator at 90 degrees.

So the sum of the angles is 90 + 90 + 90 = 270 degrees

A triangle is equal to 180 degrees. Each angle is 60 degrees [[User:Abc123x3|Abc123x3]] Yup a triangle has 180 degress in all. but all angles don't necassarily have to be 60 degrees. maybe one is 80 and the other 2 are 50. 80+50+50=180 degrees.
