Step-by-step explanation:
Every triangle has 6 exterior angles, two at each vertex.
• Angles 1 through 6 are exterior angles.
• Notice that the "outside" angles that are "vertical" to the angles inside the triangle are NOT called exterior angles of a triangle.
The measure of an exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the measures of the two non-adjacent interior angles.
(Non-adjacent interior angles may also be referred to as remote interior angles.)
FACTS:
• An exterior ∠ is equal to the addition of the two Δ angles not right next to it.
140º = 60º + 80º; 120º = 80º + 40º;
100º = 60º + 40º
• An exterior angle is supplementary to its adjacent Δ angle. 140º is supp to 40º
• The 2 exterior angles at each vertex are = in measure because they are vertical angles.
• The exterior angles (taken one at a vertex) always total 360º
Examples:
1.
Solution: Using the Exterior Angle Theorem
145 = 80 + x
x = 65
Now, if you forget the Exterior Angle Theorem, you can still get the answer by noticing that a straight angle has been formed at the vertex of the 145º angle. See Example 2.
2.
Solution: I forgot the Exterior Angle Theorem.
The angle adjacent to 145º will form a straight angle along with 145º adding to 180º. That angle is 35º.
Now use rule that sum of ∠s in Δ = 180º.
35 + 80 + x = 180
115 + x = 180
x = 65
3.
Find m∠DBC.
Solution:∠BDC is an exterior angle for ΔABD.
m∠BDC = 35 + 25
m∠BDC = 60º
180 = m∠DBC + 60 + 60
m∠DBC = 60º
4.
Find xº.
Solution:
100 = x + 50
x = 50º
