Approach #2 The sum of the angles in Any Triangle

  • Drag the slider to the end to rearrange the three parts of the triangle.
  • Move the slider back to its initial position.
  • Drag the vertices to change the shape of the rectangle and then drag the slider again.
What is the sum of the angles of the triangle?
