GIVEN,
an equilateral
TO FIND,
prove that the angles of an equilateral triangle are 60° each.
SOLUTION,
Let △XYZ be an equilateral triangle.
Then,
since the three edges of an equilateral triangle are equal,
XY=YZ=ZX
Since angles polar to equal sides of a triangle are equal.
XY=YZ and YZ=XZ
hence,
⟹∠Z=∠X and ∠X=∠Y
so each angle is equal since each side is equal,
⟹∠X=∠Y=∠Z
But, ∠X+∠Y+∠Z=180°
area of a triangle is 180°
Therefore, 3∠X=180°
∠X=60°
Hence, ∠X=∠Y=∠Z=60°
THEREFORE EACH ANGLE OF AN EQUILATERAL TRIANGLE IS 60°
