Find the measure of the three exterior angles
of a triangle if the measures of the three
angles of a triangle are as follows:
A. 55°, 65°, 60°
B. 1159, 359, 30
Answers
Answer:
A. 180-55=125
180-65=115
180-60=120
Step-by-step explanation:
I don't think its that difficult and doesn't need explanation. But if you ever want to check your answer think of it this way, exterior angle is equal to the addition of 2 opposite angles
ex.
exterior angle of angle 60 is 120, we can check this by adding 55 and 65
55+65=120
Hope this helped :)
SoluTion:
(1). 55°, 65°, 60°
Exterior angle for 55° (let x)
We know that, exterior angle is the sum of interior opposite angle.
→ x = 65° + 60°
→ x = 125°
Exterior Angle for 65° (let y)
We know that, exterior angle is the sum of interior opposite angle.
→ y = 60° + 55°
→ y = 115°
Exterior angle for 60° (let z)
We know that, exterior angle is the sum of interior opposite angle.
→ z = 55° + 65°
→ z = 120°
(2). 115°, 35°, 30°
(The question Should be like this because sum of angles of a triangle must be equal to 180°).
Exterior angle for 115° (let x)
We know that, exterior angle is the sum of interior opposite angle.
→ x = 35° + 30°
→ x = 65°
Exterior Angle for 35° (let y)
We know that, exterior angle is the sum of interior opposite angle.
→ y = 30° + 115°
→ y = 145°
Exterior angle for 30° (let z)
We know that, exterior angle is the sum of interior opposite angle.
→ z = 35° + 115°
→ z = 150°
