Question

A triangle is shown with its exterior angles. The interior angles of the triangle are angles 2, 3, 5. The exterior angle at angle 2 is angle 1. The exterior angle at angle 3 is angle 4. The exterior angle at angle 5 is angle 6.

Which statements are always true regarding the diagram? Select three options.

m∠5 + m∠3 = m∠4
m∠3 + m∠4 + m∠5 = 180°
m∠5 + m∠6 =180°
m∠2 + m∠3 = m∠6
m∠2 + m∠3 + m∠5 = 180°

Answer 1

Answer: Statements 3, 4, 5

Explanation:

Statement (3) is true because an interior angle and its exterior angle are supplementary.

Statement (4) is true by the exterior angle theorem.

Statement (5) because the sum of the angles of a triangle is 180 degrees.
