Question 16 • Geometry: Concepts and Connections

Which new angle is created by extending one side of a triangle?

Answer
A
an exterior angle
B
a complementary angle
C
an adjacent interior angle
D
a remote interior angle

Explanation

When you extend one side of a triangle beyond a vertex, the new angle formed outside the triangle is called an exterior angle. A remote interior angle is one of the triangle’s non-adjacent inside angles, not the new angle created by extending the side.
