 Calculating Angles in a Triangle
1. Ellie has measured the three angles in a triangle. One angle is 61° and another is 77°.
What is the measurement of the third angle?

2. Jake, Omar and Saskija are playing a game. Jake and Omar must give Saskija clues to help
her find the triangle that matches theirs.

Which triangle should Saskija choose? Angles are not to scale.

Jake:
The triangle has a right angle. 45°

Omar:
24°

It is a scalene triangle.

3. Dara is trying to solve a riddle. Her only clue is that the ratio of the three angles in the
mystery triangle is 2:3:4. Calculate the size of the angles and write them below from
smallest to largest:

4. Shaali, Caitlyn and Aleisha are investigating scalene triangles. They have each been given
a scalene triangle with one 52° angle labelled for them and two missing angles that they
must measure.
