Theorem 4 Flashcards
1
Q
Theorem
A
The angles of any triangle add up to 180°
2
Q
Given
A
The triangle abc with angles marked with 123
3
Q
Construction
A
Draw a line L through A parallel to BC, mark these angles 4 and 5
4
Q
Required to prove
A
|<1| + |<2| +|<3| = 180°
5
Q
Proof
A
|<2| = |<4| and |<3| = |<5| …… alternate angles
|<1| + |<4| + |<5| = 180°
For <4 and <5 sub in <2 and <3
|<1| + |<2| + |<3| = 180°
