Theorem 6 Flashcards
1
Q
Theorem
A
Each exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the two interior opposite angles
2
Q
Given
A
A triangle ABC with the side [bc] extended to the point D.
The angles are marked 1,2,3 and 4 are also given
3
Q
Required to prove
A
|<4| = |<1| + |<2|
4
Q
Proof
A
|<3| + |<4| = 180° …..straight angle
|<1| + |<2| + |<3| = 180° …angles in a triangle
.: |<3| + |<4| = |<1| + |<2| + |<3|
.: |<4| = |<1| + |<2| ….subtract |<3| from both sides
