What are exterior angles of a triangle?

Back

Exterior angles are the angles formed outside a triangle when one side is extended. Each exterior angle is equal to the sum of the two remote interior angles.

What are remote interior angles?

Back

Remote interior angles are the two interior angles of a triangle that are not adjacent to a given exterior angle.

If one angle of a triangle is 90 degrees, what are the other two angles?

Back

The other two angles must add up to 90 degrees, since the sum of all angles in a triangle is 180 degrees.

If angle A = 38 degrees and angle B = 57 degrees, what is angle C?

Back

Angle C = 180 - (38 + 57) = 85 degrees.

What is the measure of an angle if it is complementary to 25 degrees?

Back

The angle is 90 - 25 = 65 degrees.
