Mastering the Triangle Sum Theorem

The video tutorial explains the triangle sum theorem, which states that the sum of the angles in a triangle is always 180 degrees. The instructor demonstrates this theorem using different types of triangles: isosceles, right, and obtuse. Each example involves calculating the sum of the angles to verify the theorem. The tutorial also covers solving for a missing angle in a triangle using inverse operations. The lesson concludes with a final example and a summary of the theorem's proof.
