Answer 1

To prove that the sum of the measures of the interior angles of a triangle is always 180°, the type of angles used are alternate interior angles.

In a typical proof, you would draw a parallel line through one vertex of the triangle and use the concept of alternate interior angles formed with the other two sides of the triangle, which helps show that the sum of the interior angles is equal to 180 degrees.
