Q3 of 39 Page 150

In the figure given below let’s write the measurement of A + B + C + D + E + F


Given: from the given figure AB||CF


To find the measurement of A + B + C + D + E + F


Now in the given figure, AB is parallel to CF with AD as tranversal line, so


A = COD……….(i) (as they form is corresponding angles)


Similarly, AB is parallel to CF with BE as tranversal line, so


B = FOE……….(ii) (as they form is corresponding angles)


Now consider ΔCOD,


We know in a triangle the sum of all three interior angles is equal to 180°.


So in this case,


C + D + COD = 180°


Substituting the values from equation(i), we get


C + D + A = 180°……..(iii)


Now consider ΔFOE,


We know in a triangle the sum of all three interior angles is equal to 180°.


So in this case,


E + F + FOE = 180°


Substituting the values from equation(ii), we get


E + F + B = 180°……..(iv)


Now adding equation (iii) and equation (iv), we get


A + B + C + D + E + F = 180° + 180° = 360°


So the measurement of A + B + C + D + E + F = 360°.
