Prove that an exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of its interior opposite angles .
Answers
hello!!
as we know by angle sum property of triangle the all angles of a triangle add up to 180°.
let's take an example of an exterior angles being
so if we take as an linear pair the adjacent angle would be 60°
now by asp of a triangle. the sum of other two angles 180-60=120
which the the exterior angle
hence by above example we can prove the status
Answer:
let's take a example :
exterior angle =135°
angle sum property of triangle =180°
adjacent angle of exterior angle =180-135=45°
now subtract 45 from 180 ( 45 is adjacent angle of exterior angle and 180 is sum of all angles of triangle )
you will find the sum of two angles opposite to adjacent angle
180-45=135°
.•. exterior angle and and two opposite angles of adjacent angle is equal
hence proved
