Answer» Answer: Step-by-step EXPLANATION: GIVEN : A triangle ABC. 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 . |
