Answer:

False

Explanation:

The exterior angles of a triangle are formed by one side and its extension.

The value of an exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the two non-adjacent interiors. An interior and exterior angle of a triangle are supplementary, in another words, their total is 180º.

For example, from the picture:


\beta=180-B\\\alpha=180-A\\\gamma=180-C

An exterior angle of a triangle equals the sum of the interior angles.. . True. False-example-1
