L1

is parallel to L2
, and therefore ​m∠t=m∠x​
and ​m∠w=m∠y​
.



Which can be used to show that the sum of the interior angles of the triangle is 180°
?

A straight angle has a measure of 180°
, so ​m∠t+m∠v+m∠w=180°​
, and since m∠t=m∠x​
and m∠w=m∠y​
, ​m∠x+m∠y+m∠v=180°​
.

Alternate interior angles are equal, so ​m∠t=m∠x​
and ​m∠w=m∠y​
, and since ∠x
and ∠y​
are supplementary, ​m∠x+m∠y+m∠v=180°.​

Since ​m∠t=m∠x​
and ​m∠w=m∠y​
, and m∠v=90°​
, the sum of the angles is ​m∠x+m∠y+m∠v=180°.​
Since ​m∠t=m∠x​

The interior angles of a triangle are complementary, so since ​m∠t=m∠x​
and ​m∠w=m∠y​
, ​m∠x+m∠y+m∠v=180°​
