find the measures of an interior angle and an exterior angle of a regular triangle
--------------
"regular" means all sides and all angles of a polygon are equal.
sides to sides, angles to angles.
--------
The sum of the angles of a triange is 180 degs
3*angle = 180, so
each interior angle = 60 degs
---------
Ext = 180 - Int = 120 degs
