Exterior Angles of a Triangle

Question 10 • 2026 Summer 305 Edgenuity CR_Grade 8 Pre-Algebra_Math

The sum of the measures of two angles of a scalene triangle is calculated, and the result is the same as the measure of one of the external angles of a triangle. Which pair of angle measures was calculated?

Answer
A
the remote interior angles
B
the adjacent interior angles
C
the adjacent interior angle and the larger remote interior angle
D
the adjacent interior angle and the smaller remote interior angle

Explanation

By the exterior angle theorem, an exterior angle of a triangle equals the sum of its two remote interior angles. The remote interior angles are the two angles that do not share a side with that exterior angle. So the pair calculated was the remote interior angles.
