Proving the Triangle Sum Theorem

The video tutorial explains the proof of the triangular sum theorem, which states that the sum of the interior angles of a triangle is 180 degrees. The proof involves using parallel lines and transversals to establish congruent angles, applying the linear pair postulate, and performing substitutions to demonstrate that the sum of the angles in triangle ABC equals 180 degrees. The video provides a step-by-step explanation of the proof, highlighting key concepts such as congruent angles, the linear pair postulate, and the substitution property.
