What is an exterior angle of a triangle?

Back

An exterior angle of a triangle is formed by one side of the triangle and the extension of an adjacent side.

Front

How do you calculate the measure of an exterior angle?

Back

The measure of an exterior angle is equal to the sum of the measures of the two remote interior angles.

If one angle of a triangle measures 110 degrees, what is the maximum measure of the other two angles?

Back

The maximum measure of the other two angles combined must be 70 degrees, since the sum of all angles in a triangle is 180 degrees.

What is the relationship between an exterior angle and its adjacent interior angle?

Back

The exterior angle is equal to the sum of the two remote interior angles, and it is supplementary to the adjacent interior angle.
