Question 7 • Mathematics II

Which statement regarding the interior and exterior angles of a triangle is always true?

Answer
A
An exterior angle is supplementary to the adjacent interior angle.
B
An exterior angle is supplementary to a remote interior angle.
C
A remote interior angle is congruent to the exterior angle.
D
An adjacent interior angle is supplementary to a remote interior angle.

Explanation

An exterior angle and the interior angle next to it form a straight line, so their measures add to 180°. That means the exterior angle is supplementary to the adjacent interior angle. A remote interior angle is not generally supplementary or congruent to the exterior angle; instead, the exterior angle equals the sum of the two remote interior angles.
