Exploring the Sum of Interior Angles in Triangles

This video tutorial covers the interior angle sum of triangles, explaining that the sum of the interior angles in a triangle is always 180°. It discusses the use of vertical and straight angles, as well as parallel line angle theorems, to solve geometric problems. The video includes worked examples and a complex diagram analysis to help students apply these concepts in various scenarios.
