Consider an equilateral triangle ABC.
Given that A B = B C = C A = 1 0 cm .
If A B = B C ,
∠ A = ∠ B . (Angles opposite to equal sides are equal)
Similarly in case of all the angles.
∴ ∠ A = ∠ B = ∠ C .
We know that sum of all the angles in a triangle is 1 8 0 ∘ .
⟹ ∠ A + ∠ B + ∠ C = 1 8 0 ∘ . ⟹ 3 × ∠ A = 1 8 0 ∘ .
⟹ ∠ A = 3 1 8 0 = 6 0 ∘ .
∴ ∠ A = ∠ B = ∠ C = 6 0 ∘ .
Therefore, Each angle in an equilateral triangle measures 6 0 ∘ .
