Answers
Answer:
here
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the triangle be ABC ,
AB + BC + CD = 180
3 = 180
180/3 = x
60 = x

Step-by-step explanation:
To prove sum of 3 angles of a triangle is 180°
Proof:
consider a triangle PQR with angles ∠1,∠2 and ∠3
=> we have to prove that, ∠1 + ∠2 + ∠3 = 180°
Now draw a line XY such that it is parallel to base ,QR of the triangle and has P as a point in it. (see attachment)
we have ∠4 and ∠5 formed on the either sides of P with the XY line.
If taken the line PQ as the transversal for the parallel line XY and QR,
then, we have, ∠2 = ∠4 ( as Alternate angles are equal ) --- (1)
similarly,
If taken the line PR as the transversal for the parallel line XY and QR,
then, we have, ∠3 = ∠5 ( as Alternate angles are equal ) --- (2)
We know, ∠4 , ∠1 and ∠5 are linear pairs, as they formed on XY
=> ∠4+∠1+∠5 = 180° ( sum of linear pair of angles is 180° )
by (1) and (2),
=> ∠2+∠1+∠3 = 180°
ie., ∠1+∠2+∠3 = 180°
from the above statement, we can conclude that the sum of angles in a trangle is 180°
Hence proved.
