Question

SHORT RESPONSE Two angles of a triangle have measures of 35° and 80°. Find the values of the exterior angle measures of the triangle. ​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Before giving the exterior angles, find the third angle. A triangle (all triangles) measure 180 degrees.

35 + 80 + x = 180

115 + x = 180

x = 180 - 115

x = 65

Exterior angles are supplements of the interior angles.

So the exterior angle to 65 degrees is 180 - 65 = 115

And the exterior angle to 35 degrees is 180-35 = 145

The exterior angle to 80 degrees is 180 - 100 = 80
