If a triangle has a 22 degree angle and a 46 degree angle, what can be established about the third angle measure and the type of triangle?

1 answer

To find the measure of the third angle, we can subtract the sum of the two given angles from 180 degrees, since the sum of angles in a triangle is always 180 degrees.

180 - 22 - 46 = 112

Therefore, the measure of the third angle is 112 degrees.

The triangle can be classified as an obtuse triangle because it has one angle greater than 90 degrees (the 112 degree angle).
