1. Explain in your own words why the angles inside a triangle always add up to 180°.

2. Draw a triangle and label its angles as A, B, and C. If angle A is 60° and angle B is 80°, what is the measure of angle C?

3. Imagine you have a triangle where two of the angles are the same size, and the third angle is 90°. What are the measures of the two equal angles?
