35. Show that the angles of an equilateral triangle are 60° each.

Given: An equilateral triangle ABC.
To Prove: ∠A = ∠B = ∠C = 60°.
Proof: ∵ ABC is an equilateral triangle
∴ AB = BC = CA    ...(1)
∵ AB = BC
∴ ∠A = ∠C    ...(2)
| Angles opposite to equal sides of a triangle are equal
∵ BC = CA
∴ ∠A = ∠B    ...(3)
| Angles opposite to equal sides of a triangle are equal
From (2) and (3), we obtain
∠A = ∠B = ∠C    ...(4)
In ∆ABC,
∠A + ∠B + ∠C = 180°    ...(5)
| Sum of all the angles of a triangle is 180°
Let ∠A = x°. Then, ∠B = ∠C = x°
| From (4)
From (5),
x° + x° + x° = 180°
3x° = 180°
⇒ x° = 60°
⇒ ∠A = ∠B = ∠C = 60°.
