Find the measure of each angle of an equilateral triangle.

Let ABC is an equilateral triangle

We know that all the angles in an equilateral triangle are equal.


Therefore,


A = B = C (i)


Now,


A + B + C = 180o (Sum of all angles of a triangle)


A + A + A = 180o


3A = 180o


A =


= 60o


Hence, the measure of each angle of an equilateral triangle is 60o.
