Prove that sum of the three angles of a triangle is two right angles or 180°
Answers
I have two proofs to prove it...
Proof 1
Let △ABC be a triangle.
Let BC be extended to a point D.
From External Angle of Triangle equals Sum of other Internal Angles:
∠ACD=∠ABC+∠BAC∠ACD=∠ABC+∠BAC
Bby by Euclid's Second Common Notion:
∠ACB+∠ACD=∠ABC+∠BAC+∠ACB∠ACB+∠ACD=∠ABC+∠BAC+∠ACB
But from Two Angles on Straight Line make Two Right Angles, ∠ACB+∠ACD∠ACB+∠ACD equals two right angles.
So by Euclid's First Common Notion, ∠ABC+∠BAC+∠ACB∠ABC+∠BAC+∠ACB equals two right angles.
Proof 2
Let ΔABCΔABC be a triangle.
Let DAEDAE be a line such that DE∥BCDE∥BC.
By Parallelism implies Equal Alternate Angles, ∠DAB=∠ABC∠DAB=∠ABC and ∠EAC=∠ACB∠EAC=∠ACB.
Therefore, the sum of the three angles is ∠ABC+∠BCA+∠CAB=∠DAB+∠BAC+∠CAE=180∘∠ABC+∠BCA+∠CAB=∠DAB+∠BAC+∠CAE=180∘.
❥Hope it helps!!!
