EXTERIOR ANGLES

Angles � When the sides of a polygon are extended, other angles are formed. � The original angles are the interior angles. � The angles that form linear pairs with the interior angles are the exterior angles.

EXTERIOR ANGLE THEOREM An exterior angle of a triangle… … is equal in measure to the sum of the measures of its two remote interior angles Exterior angle

EXTERIOR ANGLE THEOREM (YOUR NEW BEST FRIEND) The measure of an exterior angle in a triangle is the sum of the measures of the 2 remote interior angles remot e interio r angles exterior angle 2 1 3 4 m<1 + m<2 = m<4

EXTERIOR ANGLE THEOREM m∠ 1 = m∠A + m∠B

EXAMPLES m<FHG = 180 – 111 = 69 m<G = 60 + 69 linear pair

EXAMPLES Find x & y y = 30 + 82 y = 112˚ 82° 30° x y x = 68° y = 112° 180 = 30 + 82 + x 180 = 112 + x 68˚ = x

EXAMPLES Find 2 x – 5 = x + 70 x – 5 = 70 x = 75 m< JKM = 2(75) - 5 m< JKM = 150 - 5 m< JKM = 145˚

EXAMPLES Solve for y in the diagram. Solve on your own before viewing the Solution

SOLUTION 4 y + 35 = 56 + y 3 y + 35 = 56 3 y = 21 y= 27

EXAMPLES Find the measure of Solve on your own before viewing the Solution in the diagram shown.

SOLUTION 40 + 3 x = 5 x - 10 40 = 2 x - 10 50 = 2 x 25 = x m < 1= 5 x - 10 m < 1= 5(25) - 10 m < 1= 125 - 10 m < 1= 115

CHECKPOINT: COMPLETE THE EXERCISES.

SOLUTION Right Scalene triangle x + 70 = 3 x + 10 70 = 2 x + 10 60 = 2 x 30 = x 3 (30) + 10 = 100˚

Triangle Inequality Conjecture The sum of the lengths of any two sides of a triangle is greater than the length of the third side. Add the two smallest sides; they MUST be larger than the third side for the triangle to be formed.
