enter image description here $\angle BCA=90$ degrees

I probably do not understand the concept of angle sum in a triangle but here is the thing. $\angle BAC$ is negative by convention. So is $BCA$ going to be greater than 180 degrees?

So this is obviously wrong(or is it?). I suppose you should take only the magnitude of the angle into account. Can someone tell me when you should consider the sign and when you should not?
