Notice it always remains an equiangular triangle. The angles A,B and C always remain equal in measure. An equiangular triangle is a triangle where all three interior angles are equal in measure. Because the interior angles of any triangle always add up to 180Â°, each angle is always a third of that, or 60Â° The sides of an equiangular triangle are all the same length (congruent), and so an equiangular triangle is really the same thing as an equilateral triangle. See Equilateral Triangles. Properties
An angle is a measure of rotation. Angles are measured in degrees. One complete rotation is measured as 360Â°. Angle measure can be positive or negative, depending on the direction of rotation. The angle measure is the amount of rotation between the two rays forming the angle. Rotation is measured from the initial side to the terminal side of the angle. Positive angles (Figure a) result from counterclockwise rotation, and negative angles (Figure b) result from clockwise rotation. An angle with its initial side on the xâaxis is said to be in standard position.
