2. Medians and Altitudes of Triangles
Sign In
Use the definition of supplementary angles and also the Triangle Angle-Sum Theorem.
Before making a flow proof, let's consider a triangle △ XYZ and the exterior angle corresponding to Y.
m∠ X + m∠ 2 + m∠ Z = 180^(∘) ⇓ m∠ X + m∠ Z = 180^(∘) - m∠ 2 By equating this equation with the one we wrote above we obtain the desired result. m∠ 1 = m∠ X + m∠ Z
Let's summarize the proof above in the following flow chart.
