Question

Find x and then find the measure of the exterior angle

Answer 1

x = 32

exterior = 104

Explanation:

The exterior angle is equal to the sum of the opposite interior angles

40 + 2x = x+72

Subtract x from each side

40+2x-x = x+72-x

x+40 = 72

Subtract 40 from each side

x+40-40 =72-40

x = 32

The exterior angle

x+72 = 32+72 = 104
