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

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 non-adjacent interior angles.

If one angle of a triangle is 70 degrees and another is 50 degrees, what is the measure of the third angle?

Back

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

How do you set up an equation to find an unknown angle in a triangle?

Back

You can set up the equation by using the Triangle Sum Theorem: A + B + C = 180, where A, B, and C are the angles.
