1 answer:
Answer:
Reason: the total sum of all angles inside any triangle equals 180º.
Step-by-step explanation:
1) Organization
Statement 1. m∠H = 30°, m∠J = 50°, m∠P = 50°, m∠N = 100° 1. Reason: given
2) Given that the sum of all internal angles in any triangle is always 180º, similar to the formula. N represents the number of sides of a triangle:
3) We can also state
Like in the other triangle:
4) Therefore,
Reason: The total of the internal angles is equal to 180º.
