What are the remote interior angles of an exterior angle in a triangle?

Back

The remote interior angles are the two angles in the triangle that are not adjacent to the exterior angle.

If one angle of a triangle measures 45°, what is the maximum possible measure of the other two angles?

Back

The maximum possible measure of the other two angles is 135°, since their sum must equal 135° to maintain the total of 180°.

Front

If angle A measures 30° and angle B measures 50°, what is the measure of angle C in triangle ABC?

Back

Angle C measures 100°, since 180° - (30° + 50°) = 100°.

What is an exterior angle of a triangle?

Back

An exterior angle is formed by one side of the triangle and the extension of an adjacent side.

Front

How do you determine if a triangle is valid based on its angles?

Back

A triangle is valid if the sum of its interior angles equals 180°.
