About This Worksheet

This medium-level worksheet contains 24 problems designed for 10th Grade students practicing triangle sum theorem. Medium worksheets introduce larger numbers and varied question formats to deepen understanding and build fluency.

The Triangle Angle Sum Theorem is one of the most frequently used facts in all of geometry. It connects directly to parallel line theory and is prerequisite knowledge for congruence proofs, trigonometry, and polygon angle calculations.

  • State and apply the Triangle Angle Sum Theorem (angles sum to 180 degrees)
  • Find missing angle measures in triangles using the theorem
  • Apply the Exterior Angle Theorem to solve for unknown angles
  • Classify triangles as acute, right, or obtuse using their angle measures
  • Write algebraic equations from angle sum conditions and solve for unknown variables

How to Solve: Worked Example

Example Problem: An exterior angle measures 127°. One remote interior angle is 30°. Find the other.
Solution Steps:
  1. The Exterior Angle Theorem: an exterior angle equals the sum of the two remote interior angles.
  2. So 127 = 30 + the unknown angle.
  3. 127 - 30 = 97°.
Answer: 97°
Tip: Remote interior angles are the two that do not touch the exterior angle.
