Exterior Angle Property of a Triangle

The video tutorial explains the concepts of interior and exterior angles in triangles. It introduces the exterior angle property, which states that an exterior angle is equal to the sum of the two non-adjacent interior angles. The tutorial provides examples and a proof of this property, followed by practical applications in solving problems involving unknown angles in triangles.

• It is always greater than 180 degrees.

• It is equal to one of the interior angles.

• It is equal to the sum of the two non-adjacent interior angles.

What is the term used for the two interior angles that are not adjacent to an exterior angle?

• Complementary angles

• Adjacent angles

• Remote interior angles

• Supplementary angles

In the proof of the exterior angle property, which type of angles are used to show equality?

• Corresponding angles

• Supplementary angles

• Alternate angles

• Vertical angles

What is the first step in proving the exterior angle property?

• Measure the interior angles
