of 2:3. If the third angle is 4 degrees larger than the
larger of the other two angles, find the measure of an
exterior angle at the third vertex.

Triangle Angle-Sum Theorem: The sum of the
measures of the angles of a triangle is 180. 4 3 2

Triangle Exterior Angle Theorem: The

measure of each exterior angle of a triangle equals
the sum of the measures of its two remote interior
angles. 4 is an exterior angle; the remote
interior angles in relation to 4 are 1 and 2 .
m4  m1  m2

Additional Theorems About Parallel and

Perpendicular Lines:

If two lines are parallel to the same line, then they

are parallel to each other. If a||c and b||c then
a||b.

In a plane, if two lines are perpendicular to the

same line then they are parallel to each other. If
m is perpendicular to t and n perpendicular to t,
then m||n.
