Exploring Exterior Angles in Triangles

This video tutorial explains the concept of the exterior angle of a triangle, demonstrating that it is equal to the sum of the two interior opposite angles. The session includes a detailed proof of this theorem and provides examples to illustrate its application. The tutorial emphasizes the importance of geometric reasoning in solving problems related to exterior angles.

What is the exterior angle of a triangle?

• An angle inside the triangle

• An angle outside the triangle

• The sum of all angles in the triangle

• The difference between two angles in the triangle
