Angle Sum Property of a Triangle Theorem :
In the given triangle, ∆ABC, AB, BC, and CA represent three sides. A, B and C are the three vertices and ∠ABC, ∠BCA and ∠CAB are three interior angles of ∆ABC.
Angle Sum Property of a Triangle
Theorem 1: Angle sum property of triangle states that the sum of interior angles of a triangle is 180°.
Proof:
Consider a ∆ABC, as shown in the figure below. To prove the above property of triangles, draw a line PQ←→ parallel to the side BC of the given triangle.
Proof for Angle Sum Property of a Triangle
Since PQ is a straight line, it can be concluded that:
∠PAB + ∠BAC + ∠QAC = 180° ………(1)
SincePQ||BC and AB, AC are transversals,
Therefore, ∠QAC = ∠ACB (a pair of alternate angle)
Also, ∠PAB = ∠CBA (a pair of alternate angle)
Substituting the value of ∠QAC and∠PAB in equation (1),
∠ACB + ∠BAC + ∠CBA= 180°
Thus, the sum of the interior angles of a triangle is 180°.
Answer:
180=180
Step-by-step explanation:
3x-2+2x+11+5x-9=180
10x=180
x=180/10
x=18
3x-2
3*18-2
52.
2x+11
2*18+11
47.
5x-9
5*18-9
81.
52+47+81=180
angle sum property =180
Therefore proved.
