Angles in a Triangle
The angles in a triangle add up to 180°. You can use this information to solve triangle problems.

The angles in a triangle add to 180°
- So you need to subtract the sum of the given angles from 180 degrees to work out the missing angle.

Work out the sum of given angles
- You have been given the top angle - 45°.
- We know that the other angle is a right angle by looking at it - that means it is 90°.

The sum of the given angles
- 90 + 45 = 135°.

Working out the missing angle
- So the missing angle is 180 - 135.
- The missing angle is 45°.
