This tutorial demonstrates how to prove that the sum of the angles in a triangle equals 180° using properties of parallel lines. We extend line AB to point G and draw line BE parallel to AC. By analyzing the angles formed, we establish that the angles on a straight line add up to 180°, leading to the conclusion that the sum of angles ∠CBA, ∠ACB, and ∠CAB equals 180°. Additionally, we explore the relationship between the exterior angle of a triangle and the sum of the two opposite interior angles.
