prove that the sum of the angles of a triangle is 180°
Answers
Answer:
In order to prove that the sum of angles of a triangle is 180, you must know the theorems of angles of a triangle.
We know that, alternate interior angles are of equal magnitude.
This'll help us get the answer. Let us assume a triangle ABC. Now we have to substitute the angles.
ZPAB + ZBAC + ZCAQ = 180°. where PQ line parallel to side BC touching vertex A.
ZAB = ZABC & CAQ = JCB BECAUSE alternate interior angles are congruent.
Hence we get, ZABC + ZBAC + ZACB = 180° [Proved]
Given :
A triangle ABC.
To prove :
∠A+∠B+∠C=180 o
⟹∠1+∠2+∠3=180 o
Construction :
Through A, draw a line l parallel to BC.
Proof :
Since l∥BC. Therefore,
∠2=∠4 .......eq(i)
And, ∠3=∠5......eq(ii)
adding eq(i)and(ii)
Therefore, ∠2+∠3=∠4+∠5
∠1+∠2+∠3=∠1+∠4+∠5 [adding∠1bothSide]
∠1+∠2+∠3=180 o
Thus, the sum of three angles of a triangle is 180 o
