Key Properties of Angles in Triangles:

1. Sum of Angles: The sum of the interior angles in a triangle is always 180 degrees. This means that if you know two angles, you can easily find the third. You do this by subtracting the sum of the known angles from 180.
2. Types of Triangles:
   • Equilateral Triangle: All three sides and angles are equal (each angle is 60 degrees).
   • Isosceles Triangle: Two sides are equal, and the angles opposite those sides are equal.
   • Scalene Triangle: All sides and angles are different.
3. Applications in GCSE: When solving problems involving triangles, it’s crucial to recognise which type of triangle you are dealing with. This will guide your approach to solving for unknown angles and applying the correct formulas.
