How do you find the measure of an exterior angle of a triangle?

Back

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

If angle A = 30° and angle B = 60°, what is angle C in triangle ABC?

Back

Angle C = 90° (since 30° + 60° + C = 180°).

What is the measure of an angle that is supplementary to a 120° angle?

Back

The supplementary angle is 60° (180° - 120° = 60°).
