Question

Find the measure of the

exterior angle, x.
X
x = [?]°
48%
96°
Enter

Answer 1

x=144 degrees

Explanation:

All triangles add up to 180 degrees. To find our missing angle we subtract what we know from 180 degrees:

180-96=84-48=36 degrees

Therefore, our missing angle INSIDE of the triangle is 36 degrees.

The SUM of both the INTERIOR and EXTERIOR angle = 180 degrees

Therefore, 180-36=x

x=144
