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.

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.

Since PQ is a straight line, it can be concluded that:

∠PAB + ∠BAC + ∠QAC = 180° ………(1)

Since PQ||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°.

Exterior Angle Property of a Triangle Theorem

Theorem 2: If any side of a triangle is extended, then the exterior angle so formed is the sum of the two opposite interior angles of the triangle.

In the given figure, the side BC of ∆ABC is extended. The exterior angle ∠ACD so formed is the sum of measures of ∠ABC and ∠CAB.

Proof:

From figure 3, ∠ACB and ∠ACD form a linear pair since they represent the adjacent angles on a straight line.

Thus, ∠ACB + ∠ACD = 180° ……….(2)

Also, from the angle sum property, it follows that:

∠ACB + ∠BAC + ∠CBA = 180° ……….(3)

From equation (2) and (3) it follows that:
