Exterior Angles

EXTERIOR 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

EXAMPLES

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

EXAMPLES

x

82°

30° y

Find x & y

x = 68°y = 112°

y = 30 + 82y = 112˚

180 = 30 + 82 + x180 = 112 + x68˚ = x

EXAMPLESFind m JKM

2x – 5 = x + 70 x – 5 = 70 x = 75

m< JKM = 2(75) - 5m< JKM = 150 - 5m< JKM = 145˚

Solution

4y + 35 = 56 + y3y + 35 = 563y = 21

y= 27

SOLUTION

EXAMPLESFind the measure of in the diagram shown.1

Solution

40 + 3x = 5x - 1040 = 2x - 1050 = 2x 25 = x

m < 1= 5x - 10m < 1= 5(25) - 10m < 1= 125 - 10m < 1= 115

SOLUTION

Right Scalene triangle

x + 70 = 3x + 10

70 = 2x + 1060 = 2x30 = x

3 (30) + 10 = 100˚

Q:What’s the problem with this?

A: The shorter segments can’t reach each other to complete the triangle. They don’t add up.

Make A Triangle

Construct triangle DEF.

The sum of the lengths of any two sides of a triangle is greater than the length of the third side.

Triangle Inequality Conjecture

Add the two smallest sides; they MUST be larger than the third side

for the triangle to be formed.
