    Sum of 2 angles = 80°

    Difference = 20°

    If we take away 20° from the sum, both angles are equal

    ⇒80 - 20 = 60°

    Divide by 2 to find the smaller angle:

    60 : 2 = 30

    Add 20° to find the bigger angle:

    20 + 30 = 50°

    One of the angle is 30° and the other angle is 50°

    Given that the sum of the two angles is 80°

    ⇒ Third angle = 180 - 80 = 100°

    Answer: The 3 angles are 30°, 50° and 100°

    The sum of the interior angles in a triangle is 180.

    We can find what one of angles are. Since the sum of two angles are 80, that leaves the third angle.

    180-80=100

    This means one angle equals 100.

    We can make an equation to find what the two angles are. Let's have x as the smaller angle.

    x+x+20=80; since their difference is 20.

    2x+20=80; let's subtact 20.

    2x=60; now divide by 2.

    x=30

    Since the smaller angle of the two is 30, the other is 50.

    So, the angles of the triangle are 30°, 50°, and 100°
