Theorem
The angles of any triangle add up to 180°
Given
The triangle abc with angles marked with 123
Construction
Draw a line L through A parallel to BC, mark these angles 4 and 5
Required to prove
|<1| + |<2| +|<3| = 180°
Proof
|<2| = |<4| and |<3| = |<5| …… alternate angles
|<1| + |<4| + |<5| = 180°
For <4 and <5 sub in <2 and <3
|<1| + |<2| + |<3| = 180°
