Understanding the Triangular Sum Theorem

The video tutorial explains the proof of the triangle sum theorem, which states that the sum of the interior angles of a triangle is 180 degrees. The proof involves using parallel lines and transversals to establish congruent angles, applying the linear pair postulate, and performing substitutions to demonstrate the theorem. The video provides a step-by-step explanation of the proof, highlighting key concepts such as congruent angles, the linear pair postulate, and substitution.
