Question

State and prove the angle sum property of triangles ​

Answer 1

Answer:

sum of all angles of a triangle is equal to 180 degrees

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Theorem : Angle sum property of triangle states that the sum of interior angles of a triangle is 180°.

Proof: 

Consider a ∆ABC.

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°.
