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

What is the Isosceles Triangle Theorem?

Back

The Isosceles Triangle Theorem states that in an isosceles triangle, the angles opposite the equal sides are also equal.

If one angle of a triangle is 60 degrees, what is the maximum possible measure of the other two angles?

Back

The maximum possible measure of the other two angles is 120 degrees, as the sum of all angles must equal 180 degrees.

If two angles of a triangle are 35 degrees and 70 degrees, what is the measure of the third angle?

Back

The third angle measures 75 degrees, calculated as 180 - (35 + 70).

In an isosceles triangle, if one angle is 40 degrees, what are the measures of the other two angles?

Back

The other two angles are each 70 degrees, since they are equal and the sum must be 180 degrees.

If an exterior angle measures 110 degrees, what is the sum of the two opposite interior angles?

Back

The sum of the two opposite interior angles is 70 degrees, calculated as 180 - 110.
