The exterior angle of a triangle is the angle that forms a linear pair with an interior angle of the the triangle. To draw the exterior angle all you need to do is to extend the side of the triangle. A linear pair is a pair of angle that forms a straight line. In the figure
This is the second in the series of posts about important and useful theorems in secondary school geometry. The first set of theorems is about angles of triangles. This second set involves the proportional sides of similar triangles. Proofs and sample problems will be provided in the next few posts. Definition: Similar Triangles Two triangles are similar
