\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The only way that the measure of a 3rd angle of a triangle can be equal to the sum of the measure of the other two angles is if the 3rd angle is a right angle. That means the sum of the other two angles must be .\r

\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Proof:\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Let represent the first angle and let represent the second angle. Then the third angle has to be \r
