Exterior angle of a triangle, step by step
An exterior angle of a triangle equals the sum of the two remote interior angles — the two it does not touch.
The question
degrees
The exterior angle
x=35°+55°
35°+55°=90°
x=90°
- An exterior angle of a triangle equals the sum of the two remote interior angles — the two it does not sit against. Here those are 35° and 55°.
- Add them: 35 + 55 = 90.
- So x = 90°.
