2. What is the exterior angle?

3. Which angle is adjacent to ∠𝐴𝐶𝐷?

4. Which angle is nonadjacent to ∠𝐴𝐶𝐷?

In this lesson, it is important to know the following
concepts:
 Interior Angles
 are angles inside the polygon.
 Exterior Angles

 are angles between a side of a polygon and an
extended adjacent side.
 Remote Interior Angles
 are angles that do not share a vertex or corner of a
triangle with the exterior angle.
Let us take a look at the examples below:

ILLUSTRATIVE EXAMPLE 1
Is it possible to form a triangle with unit lengths 3, 4, and 5?
Let us use Triangle Inequality Theorem 3 to determine
whether the unit lengths 3, 4, and 5 can form a triangle.

SOLUTION: Let 𝒂 = 𝟑, 𝒃 = 𝟒, and 𝒄


= 𝟓. 
a

𝑎 + 𝑏 > 𝑐 3 + 4 > 5 or 7 > 5


(True)

𝑎 + 𝑐 > 𝑏 3 + 5 > 4 or 8 > 4


4 5 (True)

𝑏 + 𝑐 > 𝑎 4 + 5 > 3 or 9 > 3


(True)

c Since all the conditions satisfy the theorem,


b
3 therefore, we can form a triangle with unit
lengths 3, 4, and 5.
ILLUSTRATIVE EXAMPLE 2
Can we form a triangle with side lengths 3 units, 4 units,
and 10 units?

Since one condition does not satisfy the theorem, therefore, we


cannot form a triangle with side lengths 3 units, 4 units, and 10 units.
