Description

This example illustrates a more complex application of the Exterior Angle Theorem in solving triangle-related equations. In this scenario, we have a triangle with one known interior angle of 35°, an unknown interior angle y, and an unknown exterior angle x. The Exterior Angle Theorem states that an exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the two non-adjacent interior angles. Here, the equation is set up as x = 35° + y. Furthermore, the angles 3x and x are supplementary, allowing you to solve for x. Having solved for x, you can then solve for y.

Description

This example presents a more challenging application of the Exterior Angle Theorem in solving triangle-related equations. In this scenario, we have a triangle with one known interior angle of 25°, an unknown interior angle y, and an unknown exterior angle x. The Exterior Angle Theorem states that an exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the two non-adjacent interior angles. Here, the equation is set up as x = 25° + y. 

You can also use the fact that x and 2x are supplementary, allowing you to solve for x. By solving for x, you can then solve for y using the triangle equation.
