What is an exterior angle of a triangle?

Back

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

Front

What does the Exterior Angle Theorem state?

Back

The Exterior Angle Theorem states that the measure of an exterior angle is equal to the sum of the measures of the two remote interior angles.

If one angle of a triangle is 50° and another is 60°, what is the measure of the third angle?

Back

The third angle measures 70° (180° - 50° - 60° = 70°).
