What is the Exterior Angle Theorem?

Back

The Exterior Angle Theorem states that the measure of an exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the measures of the two non-adjacent interior angles.

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

Back

The exterior angle is supplementary to its adjacent interior angle, meaning they add up to 180 degrees.
