If one angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the other two, show that the triangle is right-angled.
Question:
If one angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the other two, show that the triangle is right-angled.
Solution:
Let ABC be a triangle.
Then, $\angle A=\angle B+\angle C$
$\therefore \angle A+\angle B+\angle C=180^{\circ} \quad$ [Sum of the angles of a triangle]
$\Rightarrow \angle B+\angle C+\angle B+\angle C=180^{\circ}$
$\Rightarrow 2 \angle B+\angle C=180^{\circ}$
$\Rightarrow \angle B+\angle C=90^{\circ}$
$\Rightarrow \angle A=\mathbf{9 0}^{\circ} \quad[\because \angle A=\angle B+\angle C]$
This implies that the triangle is right-angled at A.
