Exterior Angles Definition Formed by one side of the triangle and the extension of an adjacent side.
Remote Interior Angles Angles not adjacent to the exterior angle
Example One: The interior angles The exterior angle The remote interior angles of ∠ 4
Exterior Angle Theorem The measure of the exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the measures of the two remote interior angles.
Let’s Prove It!
Example Two:
Example Three:
You Try! Find the missing angles
Example Four:
You Try! Find x
Theorem: The acute angles of a right triangle are complementary <A and <B are complementary
How do we know?
2 nd Theorem: There can be at most one right or obtuse angle in a triangle If <C is right or obtuse, <A and <B are both acute
Why!?!?!
