Exploring Interior Angles of Triangles

This video tutorial covers the concept of interior angles in triangles, explaining that the sum of these angles is always 180 degrees. It includes a proof of the Triangle Sum Theorem using transversals and parallel lines. The tutorial also demonstrates how to solve for missing angles in triangles through example problems and equations. The lesson concludes with a summary of the key points discussed.
