Explain the concept of interior and exterior angles the figure given below. Find x and y. |
|
Answer» The interior angles of a triangle are the three angle elements inside the triangle. The exterior angles are formed by extending the sides of a triangle, and if the side of a triangle is produced, the exterior angle so formed is equal to the sum of the two interior opposite angles. Using these definitions, we will obtain the values of x and y. We know that the sum of all angles of a triangle is 180o. Therefore, for △DBC, we have 30o + 50o + ∠DBC = 180o ∠DBC = 100o From the figure we can say that x + ∠DBC = 180o is a Linear pair x = 80o From the exterior angle property we have y = 30o + 80o = 110o |
