If one angle of a triangle is 59° and another is 51°, what is the measure of the third angle?

Back

The third angle is 70°, calculated as 180° - (59° + 51°).

If an exterior angle measures 84°, what is the sum of the remote interior angles?

Back

The sum of the remote interior angles is 84°, as the exterior angle equals their sum.
