Q1 of 26 Page 51

Two angles of a triangle are 40° and 60°. Calculate all its outer angles.

Given:


In Δ ABC


A + B + C = 180° (sum of the angles of triangle = 180°)


60° + 40° + C = 180°


100° + C = 180°


C = 180° - 100°


C = 80°


ACJ + ACB = 180° (linear pair of angles at a vertex.)


ACJ + 80° = 180°


ACJ = 180° - 80°


ACJ = 140°


CBI + CBA = 180° (linear pair of angles at a vertex.)


CBI + 40° = 180°


CBI = 180° - 40°


CBI = 140°


BAH + BAC = 180° (linear pair of angles at a vertex.)


BAH + 60° = 180°


BAH = 180° - 60°


BAH = 120°
