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. It is equal to the sum of the two remote interior angles.

Front

Can a triangle have two obtuse angles?

Back

No, a triangle cannot have two obtuse angles because the sum of the angles would exceed 180 degrees.

What is the measure of angle b if angle a is 90 degrees and angle c is 54 degrees?

Back

Angle b measures 36 degrees (90 + 54 + b = 180).
