Question

Which of the following are remote interior angles of <6? check all that apply

Answer 1

Answer:

C. <3, E. <1

Step-by-step explanation:

A triangle has 3 vertices, so it has exactly 3 interior angles, one at each vertex.

A triangle has 2 exterior angles at each vertex, so a triangle has 6 exterior angles. Each exterior angle is adjacent to an interior angle. The interior angles that are not adjacent to an exterior angle are that exterior angle's remote interior angles.

<6 is an exterior angle of the triangle. <5 is the other exterior angle at that vertex. <2 is an interior angle of the triangle and is adjacent to <6, so <2 is not a remote interior angle to <6.

The other two interior angles of the triangle are <1 and <3.

<1 and <3 are interior angles that are not adjacent to <6, so they are the remote interior angles to <6.

Answer: <1, <3
