Understanding Exterior Angles – Define an exterior angle – An angle formed outside parallel lines by a third line that intersects them. – Compare exterior and interior angles – Interior angles are inside shapes; exterior angles are outside. – Create an exterior angle – Extend one side of a polygon to form the exterior angle. – Exterior angle theorem – The measure of an exterior angle equals the sum of the two non-adjacent interior angles. | This slide introduces the concept of exterior angles in the context of polygons, particularly triangles. Begin by defining an exterior angle and how it differs from an interior angle.
