Read each question carefully and use the exterior angle property of triangles to find the unknown angles or solve the problems. Show all your work.
1. In your own words, explain the Exterior Angle Property of a triangle.
2. An exterior angle of a triangle is equal to:
The sum of the adjacent interior angles.
The sum of the two opposite interior angles.
180 degrees minus the adjacent interior angle.
The sum of all three interior angles.
3. Find the value of x in the diagram below.
4. If an exterior angle of a triangle is 110° and one of the interior opposite angles is 45°, what is the measure of the other interior opposite angle?
5. The sum of the two interior opposite angles is equal to the angle.
6. A linear pair consists of an interior angle and its exterior angle, and their sum is always degrees.
7. The exterior angle of a triangle is always greater than either of its interior opposite angles.
