Question

anyone know how to do the exterior angle theorem? i really need help

Answer 1

360/N?

Answer 2

yeah someting like that

Answer 3

The exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the 2 remote interior angles.

Answer 4

like finding the measure of it with equations

Answer 5

The sum of the exterior angles of any convex polygon is 360 degrees

Answer 6

are you trying to find a side of an angle?

Answer 7

yes but using an equation like the one im doing now says P is 30 degrees and RH is 8+6x and then Q is 4x+2

Answer 8

but its triangle form of course

Answer 9

i think you set it up to 360.

Answer 10

if there exterior angles

Answer 11

Is P the exterior angle?

Answer 12

no RH is

Answer 13

So P and Q are the interior angles?

Answer 14

yeah i think so

Answer 15

Then 4x+2+30=8+6x

Answer 16

yeah cause P is 30 degrees RH which is the exterior angle is 8+6x and Q is 4x+2

Answer 17

The exterior angle which is 8+6x is equal to the sum of the two remote interior angles which are 30 and 4x+2

Answer 18

So solve that equation.

Answer 19

alright thanks

Answer 20

wait so you just subtract from 30 on both sides?

Answer 21

ANY POLYGON HAS n angles
so has n*180 (sum of angles )
(n-2)*180 sum of angles are inside of polygon
so n-(n-2)=2 *180 sum of exterior angles

Answer 22

i set it up as 4x+2+30=8+6x

Answer 23

1. Add the like terms
2. Subtract 4x from both sides
3. Subtract 8 from both sides
4. Divide both sides by 2

Answer 24

ok thanks :)

Answer 25

yw

Answer 26

so you combine 4x and 6x together..sorry for all the question

Answer 27

im still just a little confused

Answer 28

yes. 6x-4x=2x

Answer 29

ok thanks

Answer 30

dont you mean 6x+4x since the problem is additon

Answer 31

Did you notice that step 2 said to subtract 4x from both sides?

Answer 32

ohh wait i accidentally skipped it
