Show that the angles of an equilateral triangle are $ 60^{\circ} $ each.
To do:
We have to show that the angles of an equilateral triangle are $60^o$ each.
Solution:
Let us consider an equilateral triangle $ABC$
We have,
$AB=BC=AC$ (from fig)
We know that
The sides opposite to the equal angles are equal.
Therefore,
$\angle A=\angle B=\angle C$
We also know that,
The sum of the interior angles of a triangle is always equal to $180^o$
This implies
In $\triangle ABC,$
$\angle A+\angle B+\angle C = 180^o$
Therefore,
$3\angle A=180^o$ (since $\angle A=\angle B=\angle C$)
$\angle A=\frac{180^o}{3}$
$\angle A= 60^o$
Therefore,
$\angle A=\angle B=\angle C=60^o$
Hence the angles of an equilateral triangle are $60^o$ each.
