Triangle third angle calculator

The angles of any triangle add up to 180 degrees, so two of them give the third. Good for geometry homework and quick checks on a drawing.

How to use it

  1. Enter first angle a and second angle b.
  2. The result appears straight away and updates as you edit.
  3. Copy the result, or copy a link that keeps the same values to share it.

How it is calculated

C = 180° - A - B. In radians: C × π / 180.

Example

Inputs: First angle A = 50 °, Second angle B = 60 °. Result: Third angle C: 70 °; Triangle type: Acute triangle; Angle C in radians: 1.2217 rad.

Limits and caveats

  • Applies to flat triangles. A spherical triangle has angles adding up to more than 180.

Questions about this tool

How do I find the third angle by hand?

Add the two known angles and subtract from 180, for example 180 - 50 - 60 = 70.

Can a triangle have two right angles?

No. Those two alone add up to 180, leaving nothing for the third angle.

What is an exterior angle of a triangle?

It is the supplement of an interior angle and equals the sum of the two interior angles not next to it.
