Question

consider the following proof of the triangle angle sum theorem. which statement has a mistake?
given: \\( \triangle a b c \\) with \\( \overleftrightarrow { d e } \parallel \overline { a c } \\)
prove: \\( m \angle a + m \angle a b c + m \angle c = 180 ^ { \circ } \\)
identify total number of mistakes in the steps to prove that the sum of all the angles of a triangle is \\( 180 ^ { \circ } \\)

statementsreasons
2 \\( \angle d b a \cong \angle a , \angle e b c \cong \angle c \\)2 \\( \overleftrightarrow { d e } \parallel \overline { a c } \\) and alternate interior angles are congruent when lines are parallel
3 \\( m \angle d b a = m \angle a , m \angle e b c = m \angle c \\)3 definition of congruent angles
4 \\( m \angle d b a + m \angle a b c + m \angle a c b = 180 ^ { \circ } \\)4 definition of a straight angle
5 \\( m \angle a + m \angle a b c + m \angle c = 180 ^ { \circ } \\)5 substitution

(1 point)
statement \\( \square \\) has a mistake

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze statement 4

The sum of angles on a straight line is \(180^{\circ}\). The angles on the straight line \(DE\) at point \(B\) are \(\angle DBA+\angle ABC+\angle EBC = 180^{\circ}\), not \(\angle DBA+\angle ABC+\angle ACB = 180^{\circ}\).

Answer:

Statement 4 has a mistake.
