Question

Triangle K M L is shown. Line L K extends through point J to form exterior angle J K M. Which statement regarding the diagram is true? m∠MKL m∠MLK = m∠JKM m∠KML m∠MLK = m∠JKM m∠MKL m∠MLK = 180° m∠JKM m∠MLK = 180°

Answer 1

The exterior angle of a triangle is the sum of the opposite interior angles.

The true statement is: $\mathbf{(b)\ \angle JKM = \angle KML + \angle MLK}$

From the figure (see attachment), we have:

∠JKM as an exterior angle to ∠KML and ∠MLK

In a triangle,

The exterior angle equals the sum of the opposite interior angles.

This means that:

$\mathbf{\angle JKM = \angle KML + \angle MLK}$

Hence, the true statement is: $\mathbf{(b)\ \angle JKM = \angle KML + \angle MLK}$
