Exterior Angles of Triangles

Properties

• An exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the opposite interior angles.
  For more on this see Triangle external angle theorem.
• If the equivalent angle is taken at each vertex, the exterior angles always add to 360° In fact, this is true for any convex polygon, not just triangles. See Exterior angles of a polygon. In the figure above, drag the triangle's vertices and see that this is so.
