What is the relationship between an exterior angle and its adjacent interior angle?

Back

The exterior angle is equal to the sum of the two remote interior angles, and it is supplementary to the adjacent interior angle.

If angle d is 146 degrees, what are the measures of the remote interior angles if angle a is 62 degrees?

Back

If angle d is 146 degrees and angle a is 62 degrees, then angle b must be 84 degrees (146 - 62 = 84).
