How many degrees are there in a triangle?

Understand the Problem

The question is asking for the total sum of the internal angles of a triangle. The approach to answer this is to recall the geometric property that states the sum of the angles in any triangle is always 180 degrees.

More Information

The sum of the interior angles in any triangle, regardless of its type (acute, obtuse, or right), always adds up to 180 degrees.

Tips

A common mistake is to think the angles add up differently depending on the type of triangle, but they always sum to 180 degrees.
