Step-by-Step Solution

In order to solve this exercise, we need to be aware of two important laws-

1: In an equilateral triangle, all angles are equal.

2: The sum of angles in a triangle is 180.

Let's begin by defining the angle size as X.

We know that all angles are equal, and together they equal 180 degrees, therefore:

3X=180

Divide by 3

X=60

Hence the angle size is 60 degrees!

Answer

60°
