SUMMARY

The measure of each interior angle for a regular triangle is definitively 60 degrees. A regular triangle, also known as an equilateral triangle, has three equal angles, and since the sum of the interior angles of any triangle is 180 degrees, dividing this by three yields 60 degrees per angle. Therefore, the correct answer to the question is 60 degrees for each interior angle.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of basic geometric principles
  • Knowledge of triangle properties
  • Familiarity with angle measurement
  • Ability to perform basic arithmetic operations
NEXT STEPS
  • Study the properties of different types of triangles, such as isosceles and scalene triangles
  • Learn about the sum of interior angles in polygons
  • Explore the concept of exterior angles in triangles
  • Investigate the relationship between triangle angles and trigonometric functions
USEFUL FOR

Students studying geometry, educators teaching triangle properties, and anyone interested in understanding basic mathematical concepts related to angles and shapes.

The questions asks me to

"Find the measure of each interior angle for a regular triangle. Then Round to the nearest tenth if necessary"

So, the solution of the measures of the interior angles of a triangle is 180 degrees. There's 3 angles. So each angle = 60.

So all i really want to know is for the answer i have to say it's "60" or "180? (Just want to be sure)

It asks for the measure of each interior angle. Obviously, each angle is 60, not 180.

Just making sure. Thx
