If one angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the other two, show that the triangle is a right triangle.
Given:
One angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the other two.
To do:
We have to show that the triangle is a right triangle.
Solution:
We know that,
Sum of the angles in a triangle is $180^o$.
Let the angles of the triangle be $x, y$ and $z$.
Let $x=y+z$
Therefore,
$x+y+z=180^o$
$x+x=180^o$
$2x=180^o$
$x=90^o$
One of the angles of the triangle is $90^o$
Therefore, the triangle is a right-angled triangle.
