A triangle is shown with its exterior angles. The interior angles of the triangle are angles 2, 3, 5. The exterior angle at angle 2 is angle 1. The exterior angle at angle 3 is angle 4. The exterior angle at angle 5 is angle 6. Which statements are always true regarding the diagram? Select three options. m∠5 + m∠3 = m∠4 m∠3 + m∠4 + m∠5 = 180° m∠5 + m∠6 =180° m∠2 + m∠3 = m∠6 m∠2 + m∠3 + m∠5 = 180°

Answer:

m∠5 + m∠6 =180°

m∠2 + m∠3 = m∠6

m∠2 + m∠3 + m∠5 = 180°

Explanation:

m∠5 + m∠6 are linear pairs, so their sum has to be 180°.

m∠2 + m∠3 = m∠6 because of the exterior angle theorem, which states that the measure of an exterior angle is equal to the sum of the two opposite interior angles. (using this logic, m∠1 equals the sum of m∠5 and m∠3, and m∠4 equals the sum of m∠2 and m∠2).

m∠2 + m∠3 + m∠5 = 180° because the triangle sum property says that the sum of a triangle's interior angles will equal 180°.
