In ∆ ABC above, what is the sum of p + q + r + s + t + u ?

(A) 180
(B) 225
(C) 270
(D) 360
(E) 450

A + B + C = 180
[180-(r+s) ] + [180-(q+p)] + [180 - (t+u)] = 180
3(180) - 180 = r+s +p+q+t+u
2(180) = r+s +p+q+t+u
=360
option D

A, B, and C are interior angles of the larger ∆ ABC

So A + B + C = 180

(A + B + C) can be used to find p + q + r + s + t + u

Angles in each small triangle (yellow, purple, green) also sum to 180.

From diagram, write the equations -- and add them

r + s + A = 180
p + q + B = 180
t + u + C = 180____________________
r + s + A + p + q + B + t + u + C = 540, or

p + q + r + s + t + u + (A + B + C) = 540, or

p + q + r + s + t + u + 180 = 540

p + q + r + s + t + u = 360

We see that the sum of the interior angles is 180. Let’s say each angle within the triangle is 60 degrees. Then s + t = r + q = p + u = 180 - 60 = 120.

So, p + q + r + s + t + u = 360.

Answer: D
