The angles in a triangle
The diagram shows a yellow triangle, and three green copies of it. Use the orange vertices to move these green triangles so that the points A', B' and C' all coincide somewhere on the blue line. By using the yellow vertices to rotate the triangles, can you show that the three angles in any triangle add up to 180° ?
Please enable Java for an interactive construction (with Cinderella).
