Answer:

∠CAB

Explanation:

Exterior angles include two corner points and one point not on the triangle. Thus, ∠CAD would be an exterior angle.

Answer:

Explanation:

A triangle has 3 interior angles. In this case, they are

<ABF

<BFA

<FAB

An exterior angle is the supplement of one of the angles. In this case, there is only 1 angle that qualifies -- <CAB which is the supplement of BAF.

All the other choices are not supplements to any of the interior angles such as

<BAD

<AFE

<CAD
