In Euclidean geometry, what is the sum of the internal angles of a triangle?
Show answer
180 degrees
This rule only applies to flat surfaces; on a curved surface like a sphere, the angles of a triangle actually add up to more than 180 degrees. You can remember this by imagining a triangle formed by the North Pole and two points on the equator.
