Triangle Sum Theorem

In this lesson, we will learn

the Triangle Sum Theorem (with worksheets)
how to prove the Triangle Sum Theorem
how to solve problems using the Triangle Sum Theorem

The Triangle Sum Theorem states that

The sum of the three interior angles in a triangle is always 180°.

The Triangle Sum Theorem is also called the Triangle Angle Sum Theorem or Angle Sum Theorem.

Example :

Example:

Find the value of x in the following triangle.

Solution:

x + 24° + 32° = 180° (sum of angles is 180°)

x + 56° = 180°

x = 180° – 56° = 124°

Worksheet 1, Worksheet 2 using Triangle Sum Theorem

Proof of the Triangle Sum Theorem

The follwing videos show how to prove that the sum of the angles of a triangle is 180 degrees. (Triangle Sum Theorem)

Solving problems using the Triangle Sum Theorem

The following videos show more examples of how to solve problems related to the triangle sum theorem using Algebra.
