Finding Angles of a Triangle - Middle School Math

In the following triangle, if angle ABC equals 80 degrees and angle BAC equals 40 degrees, what does angle ACB equal to?
Answer:

Angle ACB equals 60 degrees.
The measures of the three interior angles of a triangle must equal to a total of 180 degrees. Therefore we must add the two shown angles and subtract that number from 180 in order to find the correct answer. The step is as follows:

180 - (80 + 40) = 60

Geometry is one of the most interesting math applications in my opinion. Thanx for posting it. It refreshed my memory. It's been quite a while since i've done that sort of math.
