Triangle Angles

Drag the corners to make any triangle you like. Then tear off the three corners and line them up. What do you notice?

Drag any corner to reshape the triangle. Then tear off the three corners and line them up.

The three corners always fit together into a straight line, and a straight line is 180°.
