The Exterior Angles of a Triangle Objective: Students will solve problems that involve an exterior angle of a triangle.
Note: An exterior angle of a triangle is equivalent to the sum of its two non-adjacent interior angles.
Example #1: Find x. x 120 40
Example #2: Find x. 5x 2(4x – 30) x + 20
Example #3: Find x, then find the measure of the interior angles at A and B. 4x + 10 3x – 20 A 5(x – 14) B mA= 3(25) – 20 = 55 mB= 5(25 – 14) = 55
