What is the measure of ∠A, the exterior angle of the triangle shown below?

F. m∠A = 92°, because 180 – (50 + 38) = 92.

G. m∠A = 272°, because 180 – (50 + 38) = 92 and 92 + 180 = 272. H.m∠A=78°,because 50–38=12and90–12=78.

J. m∠A = 88°, because 50 + 38 = 88.

What is the measure of ∠A, the exterior angle of the triangle shown below? F. m∠A-example-1

Answer: A is 88

Step-by-step explanation: Sum of all angles is 180 degree.

Let the third interior angle be x.

38+50+x=180

88+x=180

x= 92

A and X are in linear pair.

A+X=180

A+92=180

A=88
