1. **Problem Statement:**
We are given an equilateral triangle as part of a traffic sign design. We need to find the sum of the interior angles of the equilateral triangle, the measure of angle $\angle N$, and the measure of angle $\angle M$.
2. **Formula and Important Rules:**
- The sum of interior angles of any triangle is always $$180^\circ$$.
- In an equilateral triangle, all sides are equal, and all interior angles are equal.
- Since the triangle is equilateral, each interior angle measures $$\frac{180^\circ}{3} = 60^\circ$$.
3. **Calculations:**
- Sum of interior angles of the equilateral triangle:
$$\text{Sum} = 180^\circ$$
- Measure of $\angle N$:
Since $\angle N$ is one of the interior angles of the equilateral triangle, it measures:
$$\angle N = 60^\circ$$
- Measure of $\angle M$:
$\angle M$ is also an interior angle of the equilateral triangle, so:
$$\angle M = 60^\circ$$
4. **Explanation:**
- The sum of interior angles in any triangle is always 180 degrees.
- In an equilateral triangle, all sides and angles are equal.
- Therefore, each angle in the equilateral triangle is 60 degrees.
- Hence, both $\angle N$ and $\angle M$ measure 60 degrees each.
**Final answers:**
- Sum of interior angles: $$180^\circ$$
- Measure of $\angle N$: $$60^\circ$$
- Measure of $\angle M$: $$60^\circ$$
