An exterior angle of a triangle is 120 degrees and one of the interior opposite angles is 30 degrees. What are the other angles of triangles?
Manages blood sugar levels.
Step one, draw a picture!
There are three relevant theorems to help us here:
The angle sum theorem: a + b + c = 180° (interior angles of a triangle sum to 180°)
The linear pair theorem: b + d = 180° (linear pairs are supplementary)
And by combining the two, and a little Algebra, you get
Exterior angle theorem: a + c = d (The exterior angle is equal to the sum of the two remote interior angles)
In the problem, you were given an exterior angle, d = 120°, and a remote interior angle (a or c, they’re interchangeable).
We know from linear pair theorem that b + 120° = 180°. So b = 60°
We can either use angle sum theorem or exterior angle theorem to find that last bad boy.
Angle sum theorem:
a + 60° + 30° = 180
a = 90°
Exterior angle theorem:
a + 30° = 120°
a = 90°
