Question

Prove that the sum of three angles of a triangle is 180°
​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

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
