My best explanation to this question is:
Elena has summed the total of all three angles in the straight angle to get 180°; <DAB, <BAC , and <CAE. But this does not mean a total of three angles will ALWAYS equal 180°. If one angle is greater than the other two, then there is a possible chance the angle will not be 180°. If the angles are scalene, then there is a greater chance the angle may not be 180°.
This may be wrong, so you don’t have to come up with my response exactly, just modify it to what you need. Wish you luck.
