In a triangle, the sum of the measures of the interior angles is 180°

Given:
 Triangle ABC
In a triangle, the sum of the measures of the interior angles is 180°

Prove:



Proof:

Through C, draw ED||AB

In a triangle, the sum of the measures of the interior angles is 180°
1: - The angles on segment ED

2:
- alternate interior angles are congruent, ED||AB, transversals: AC, BC


- From 1, 2
