state and prove angles sum property of a triangle
Answers
Answer:
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°.
Angle Sum property of a triangle states that All the angles of any triangle will add up to 180 °
Given - ABC is a triangle
To prove that Angle A +B+C =180°
Prove -
Draw a line Parallel to BC passing through A
Angle 1 =Angle B (alternate interior angle). -----(a)
Angle 3 = Angle C (Alternate interior angle)--------(b)
Now
Angle 1 + A+2 =180° (linear pair)
From (a) and (b)
Angle B +A+C = 180°
Hence All angle of a triangle is equal to 180°.....
