Exterior Angle of a Triangle

Lesson objective(s): - Derive and use the fact that the exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum
of the two interior opposite angles, recognise and describe the properties of angles on parallel and
intersecting lines, using geometric vocabulary such as alternate, corresponding and vertically
opposite.

 Naming angles:

Angles are named in three different ways: <ABC or <CBA or <B

 Types of angles.

Acute Angle Right Angle Obtuse Angle

Greater than 90 and less than

Less than 90 Equal to 90
180

Straight Angle Reflex Angle Full Rotation/ Complete Turn

Greater than 180 and less

Equal to 180 Equal to 360
than 360

Zero Angle
 Equal to 0

 Reminders:
1) A triangle is a closed, 2-dimentional shape with 3-sides, 3- angles and 3-vertices.
2) The angle sum of any triangle is 180.
For example:

a + b + c = 180
3) Types of triangles:
Equilateral Triangle Isosceles Triangle Scalene Triangle

all sides equal two equal sides no equal sides

all angles are equal (600) two angles are equal none are equal

4) A quadrilateral is an enclosed 4-sided flat shape.

- The angle sum of any quadrilateral is 360°.

5) Types of quadrilaterals :

Rectangle Square Parallelogram

Rhombus Trapezium Kite

Check Study sheet 11 for properties of quadrilaterals

 Complementary angles.
The two adjacent angles that share a common vertex, a common ray and add up to 900 are
complementary angles.

 Angles on a straight line are equal to 1800.

 Supplementary angles.
The two adjacent angles that share a common vertex, a common ray and add up to 1800 are
supplementary angles. They will typically form a straight angle together.

 Angles around a point are equal to 3600.

3
 Types of lines.

Perpendicular lines are a special case of intersecting lines, where the angle formed between
them is 90

 Properties of parallel lines.

- A transversal is a line that crosses two or more parallel lines.

- Corresponding angles.
When a transversal line cuts across two parallel lines creates corresponding angle.
Look for F shapes. The two equal corresponding angles in the F shape are the two angles
that are pointing in the same direction.
Please note that the F shape could be rotated, flipped upside down, stretched out, etc.

- Alternate angles.
A transversal line cuts across two parallel lines creates two pairs of equal alternate angles.
Look for Z shapes. Please note that the Z shape could be rotated, flipped upside down,
stretched out, etc.

4
 Opposite angles.
Vertically opposite angles are pairs of angles formed by the intersection two lines, that form
a X shape.

 Exterior angle theorem.

The size of an exterior angle in a triangle is equal to the angle sum of the two opposite (far)
interior angles.
