If you took the three angles of a triangle and glued them on a piece of paper side by side the outer sides would make a straight line. A triangles three angles add up equal 180 degrees. A straight angle,line, equals 180 degrees.

Why do angles inside a triangle add to 180 degrees?

The angles inside a triangle add up to 180 degrees due to the properties of parallel lines and transversals. When a triangle is drawn, if you extend one side and draw a line parallel to the opposite side, the alternate interior angles formed are equal to the triangle's angles. The three angles of the triangle, along with the two corresponding angles created by the parallel line, together form a straight line, which measures 180 degrees. Thus, the sum of the triangle's angles must also equal 180 degrees.


Why is it impossible for a triangle to contain a 180 angle?

It is impossible to have a 180 degree angle because all three of a triangle's angles have to equal 180. If you have one angle of 180, then you would have 2 angles of 0, making a plain old straight line.

If a triangle has 1 right angle can it have three equal sides how?

No, because the angles of a triangle have to total 180 degrees and if there are three angles in a triangle, 90 * 3 cannot equal 180. To have three equal sides, the angles must equal 60 degrees 60 * 3 = 180.
