Triangle Angle Properties and Relationships

The video tutorial explains that the sum of the angles in any triangle is 180 degrees. It begins by labeling the angles as a, b, and c, and then draws a line parallel to the base of the triangle. By extending the sides of the triangle and using the concept of alternate interior angles, it demonstrates that the angles a, b, and c form a straight angle, thus proving that their sum is 180 degrees.

What is the sum of the angles in any triangle?

• 90 degrees
