Interact with the applet below for a few minutes.
Then, answer the questions that follow.
Be sure to change the locations of the triangle's WHITE VERTICES each time before you drag the slider!!!

Exterior Angle Theorem
The two colored angles are said to be the "remote interior" angles from the labeled exterior angle. What do you think the definition of remote interior angle is?

The remote interior angles are the angles that are inside the triangle and are not adjacent to the labeled exterior angle.
Exterior Angle Theorem #2
When you moved the slider, the two remote interior angles moved. What did you notice that happened? What do you think the Exterior Angle Theorem is?

The two remote interior angles added up to the exterior angle. This is the theorem!
Exterior Angle Theorem: An exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of its two remote interior angles
