Answer:


\angle m + \angle t + \angle n = 180

Explanation:

Required

Show that:


\angle m + \angle t + \angle n = 180^o

To make the proof easier, I've added a screenshot of the triangle.

We make use of alternate angles to complete the proof.

In the attached triangle, the two angles beside
\angle m are alternate to
\angle t and
\angle n

i.e.


\angle 1 = \angle t


\angle 2 = \angle n

Using angle on a straight line theorem, we have:


\angle 1 + \angle m + \angle 2 = 180

Substitute values for (1) and (2)


\angle t + \angle m + \angle n = 180

Rewrite as:


\angle m + \angle t + \angle n = 180 -- proved
