Question

Use the given figure to show that: ∠p + ∠q + ∠r = 360°.

Answer 1

By exterior angle property,
∠p = ∠PQR + ∠PRQ
∠q = ∠QPR + ∠PRQ
∠r = ∠PQr + ∠QPR
Now, ∠p + ∠q + ∠r
= ∠PQR + ∠PRQ + ∠QPR + ∠PRQ + ∠PQR + ∠QPR
⇒ ∠p + ∠q + ∠r = 2∠PQR + ∠2PRQ + 2∠QPR
⇒ ∠p + ∠q + ∠r = 2(∠PQR + ∠2PRQ + 2∠QPR)
⇒ ∠p + ∠q + ∠r = 2 x 180°      ....[Angle sum property: ∠PQR + ∠PRQ + ∠QPR = 180°]
⇒ ∠p + ∠q + ∠r = 360°.
