Exterior Angle Theorem\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The measure of an exterior angle (for example: w) of a triangle equals to the sum of the measures of the two remote interior angles (for example: x and y) of the triangle.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "if \"3x+-+22+\" represents the exterior angle of the triangle and \"80+%2B+x+\" the sum of remote interior angles, then you have \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"3x+-+22+=+80+%2B+x+\" ......solve for \"x\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"3x+-+x+=+80+%2B+22+\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"2x+=+102+\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"x+=+102%2F2+\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"x+=+51+\"......find exterior angle\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Remember that \"x\" is not the answer here. We need the angles themselves, which are calculated as \"3x+-+22+\", \"80\", and \"x\". \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The angles, then, are:\r
