Here is a conjecture: The interior angles of a triangle sum to 180°.
Here is a new diagram that proves the same conjecture.
Label the angles at point G with the appropriate variables.
Explain how to prove the conjecture is always true using one or both of the diagrams.

Answer

  1. Label the angles at point G: The angle at point G is labeled as g° in the diagram.

  2. Explanation: To prove the conjecture that the interior angles of a triangle sum to 180°, consider the triangle FGH in the diagram. The angles at points F, G, and H are labeled as f°, g°, and h° respectively. Since the lines are parallel, the alternate interior angles theorem can be applied, showing that the sum of the angles f°, g°, and h° equals 180° because they form a straight line when extended. Therefore, the sum of the interior angles of triangle FGH is 180°.
