From geometry terms and definitions ,we know

An exterior angle (or external angle) is an angle formed by one side of a simple polygon and a line extended from an adjacent side.

In any triangle, if one of the sides is produced, then the exterior angle is greater than either of the interior and opposite angles,

The sum of the internal angle and the external angle on the same vertex is 180°.

angle

The sum of the measures of the external angles of a polygon ,one at each vertex is 360°.

Here angle 1,2 ,3 are external angles

1+2+3 = 360°.

Let’s see an example on this….from 10 grade math geometry

angles

Find the value of x in the figure….

Since we have a straight line and a part of it is 80

Angle x=180-80

So x=100°

This also help solving slope of a line problems in algebra ii
