Introduction

One of the most elementary concepts we have learned about triangles in Geometry is the angle sum theorem. The theorem states that the sum the three interior angles of a triangle is $latex 180^{o}$. We can easily see this by duplicating or cutting the corners of a triangle and meeting the angles at a particular point (see first figure). The adjacent angles will form a straight angle which is equal to $latex 180^{o}$.

The proof of the angle sum theorem is quite easy. We just need to draw an extra line. Continue reading →
