Exterior Angle Theorem B Exterior Angles x y w A C An exterior angle of a triangle is an angle formed by a side of the triangle and the extension of another side of the triangle. w is an exterior angle of triangle ABC x & y are nonadjacent interior angles often called remote interior angles The measure of an exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the measures of the two nonadjacent interior angles. w = x + y Exterior Angle Theorem

Exterior Angle Theorem The measure of an exterior angle of a triangle is 1200. If the measure of one of the remote angles is 200 less than three times the other remote angle, find the measure of the two remote angles. Exterior Angle Theorem 3x - 20 1200 x x = smaller of two remote angles = 35 3x - 20 = larger of two = 85 3x – 20 + x = 120 1200 4x – 20 = 120 4x = 140 x = 35
