Take three different colour sheets , place one over the other and draw a triangle on the top sheet. Cut the sheets to get triangles of different colour which are identical. Mark the vertices and the angles as shown. Place the interior angles angle1,angle2 and angle3 on a straight line, adjacent to each other, without leaving any gap. What can you say about the total measure of the three angles angle1,angle2 and angle3 ? Can you use the same figure to explain the ''Exterior angle property'' of a triangle ? If a side of a triangle is stretched, the exterior angle so formed is equal to the sum of the two remote interior angles.
