Experiment 4: To verify that the exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of its two opposite interior angles.
| Figure | Opposite interior angles | Exterior angles | Sum of two opposite interior angles | Results | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| I. | ∠ABC = | ∠BAC = | ∠ACD = | ∠ABC + ∠BAC = | |
| II. | ∠ABC = | ∠ACB = | ∠CAD = | ∠ABC + ∠ACB = | |
Conclusion: If any side of a triangle is produced, the exterior angle so formed is equal to the sum of the two opposite interior angles.
