Exterior Angles & Angle Sum: Triangle

Front

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. It is equal to the sum of the two opposite interior angles.

If one interior angle of a triangle is 60 degrees and another is 70 degrees, what is the measure of the exterior angle adjacent to the 70-degree angle?

Back

The exterior angle is 60 + 70 = 130 degrees.

What is the formula for calculating the sum of angles in a polygon?

Back

The sum of the interior angles of a polygon with n sides is (n-2) * 180 degrees.
