What is an exterior angle of a triangle?

Back

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

Front

How do you find the measure of an exterior angle?

Back

The measure of an exterior angle is equal to the sum of the measures of the two remote interior angles.
