Technically speaking, this is what kids typically use in their level of math, HOWEVER not always true. If the triangle is on a single plane, and a single plane only then yes, it only can add up to 180 degrees. If it is not on the same plane, then the angles can add up to either more or less than 180 degrees. This may sound impossible and you may disagree right off the bat, so let me give you an example to consider... If you have a sphere, a globe of the world works perfect for a visual... I'll use it as my example. Let the North Pole be angle A. Make a 90 degree angle from the north pole down to the equator. Theres the first angle: 90 degrees. We'll call that angle B. Now, if you bring another segment down from the north pole to the equator and call it angle C, and connect all the sides, you have a triangle that measures MORE than 180 degrees. There's your proof that a triangle can have more than a total of 180 degrees. On the other hand, a triangle can also have less than 180 degrees. Again with the globe example, if you simply invert it, and deal with the INSIDE of the sphere, it is possible to have a triangle with total angle measures less than 180 degrees. Theres your proof of that. Feel free to test it out for yourself. Having an object visual helps alot. If you're asking this question for younger people like grade school for example, I would just stick to using 180 degrees for the triangle assuming it's on one and only one plane. More advanced things like dealing with different planes, frame of referance, and other theories will be learned later in highschool and college. The main point though, to answer this question, is IT IS POSSIBLE TO HAVE A TRIANGLE'S ANGLES SUM UP TO MORE OR LESS THAN 180 DEGREES.
What else can I help you with?
Two angles in a triangle are 35 degrees and 60 degrees what is the measure of the third angle?
Well, honey, the sum of the angles in a triangle is always 180 degrees. So, if you have two angles at 35 degrees and 60 degrees, just subtract that from 180 to find the measure of the third angle. In this case, the third angle would be 85 degrees. Math doesn't have to be complicated, darling.
What should the sum of the angles of a triangle equal?
180 degrees
If a quadrilateral has three angles that measure 80 degrees 110 degrees 75 degrees what is the measure of the forth angle?
95 degrees, because 80+110+75=265 and the total degrees a quadrilateral should have(360) minus 265=95
Why cant you have two obtuse angles in a triangle?
Angle sum property of a triangle states that the sum of angles in any triangle should be 180 degree. An angle greater than 90 degree is an obtuse angle. If we have 2 obtuse angles in a triangle, say, 95 degree, 100 degree & 50, it always tend to violate the angle sum property of the triangle. So we cannot have 2 obtuse angles in a triangle.
How do you find out if a triangle is a right angle triangle given only the length of each side?
Measure 3 of any unit on one of the sides that you suppose have a right angle. Measure 4 of the same unit an the oher side you suppose has a right angle. the distance between the marks you made should mbe 5 if it is a right angle

How many degrees should there be in an isosceles triangle?
In the equilateral triangle, all the sides are the same length and all the angles are the same size (congruent). Since the sum of the angles of a triangle is always 180 degrees, we can figure out the measure of the angles of an equilateral triangle.Another Answer:-An isosceles triangle has 2 equal base angles plus another angle and the 3 interior angles add up to 180 degrees.
How do you use the measures of a triangle to show that a triangle is a right triangle?
Using a protractor which should give a measure of a 90 degree angle and two acute angles that add up to 90 degrees.
How many degrees do an isosceles triangle have?
The TOTAL of the three corners in EVERY triangle is ALWAYS 1800Two corners of an isosceles triangle have the same value and need to be smaller than 900because:(>00) + 2*(
If the total angle of a triangle is 180 degrees what should be the total perimeter of a triangle?
The sum of the 3 interior angles of any triangle ... no matter how large or small ... is always 180 degrees. This rule has no connection to the perimeter of the triangle. The perimeter may be one inch, less than one inch, 10 miles, more than 1,000 miles, etc., and the sum of the interior angles is always the same 180 degrees.
The angles to a triangle should add up to how many degrees?
The angles of a triangle add up to 180 degrees.
How do you find the area of a triangle which is not 90 degrees?
with a protractor. or if you don't have one, you can find it using the degrees you already have. The degrees in a triangle should always be 180. So, take the info you have, add it together, then subtract it from 180 (i.e 90+45=135. 180-135=45).
When you add up three angles in a triangle they should total degrees?
yes they should. i it should total= 180 degrees
What should the sum of the angles of a triangle equal?
180 degrees
How much should all the angles on a triangle equal to?
180 degrees
What is the Formula for a acute triangle?
For acute triangle None of the angle of triangle should be more than 90 degrees. See the weblink below for formulas.
What type of angle is the largest angle in a right triangle?
it should be 90 degrees
