A straight angle was formed when Tanisha arranged the three angles. This shows that the sum of the measures of the three angles in the triangle is equal to the straight angle, that is, the angle sum is 180 degrees. Also, this shows that whatever the position of the three sides of the triangle is, the total degrees of the angles is always 180.
