What you will learn from this videoWhat you will learn
- We’ll learn that when you are given certain side lengths and angles of triangles, you can either form 1 triangle, no triangle, or many triangles!
- We will also learn that the 3 angles in a triangle add up to 180 degrees.
- And we'll see that this knowledge can help us make jewelry, design clothes, and even work on spacecraft!
