Question

Why Is Triangle Always 180°?


Open in App
Solution

Angle sum property of a triangle:

  • The sum of interior angles of a triangle is 180°.
  • One exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the other two angles in the triangle.
  • The exterior angle is obtained by extending the side of the triangle. Since it is a straight line, the angle is 180°.
  • Here, BCD=180°linearpair and ACD=BAC+ABC.
  • The formula to find the sum of interior angles of a regular polygon is n-2×180°, where nis the number of sides of the polygon.

Hence, the Triangle Always 180°
