Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
A linear pair are two given angles whose sum is equal to .
Let the exterior angle be represented by , and the three interior angles of the triangle be represented by
,
and
.
Assume that the vertex angle is the linear pair to the exterior angle
.
i.e +
=
(sum of angles on a straight line)
Thus,
i. +
=
(sum of two opposite interior angles is equal to an exterior angle)
⇒ =
-
Also,
=
-
But,
+
+
=
(sum of angles in a triangle)
⇒ =
- (
+
)
and
+
=
-
ii. +

=
(sum of angles in a triangle)
=
- (

)
Also,
