Find the measure of the exterior angle, a.

Question

1. a, 2. 35°, 3. 35°
a = [?]°

Answer 1

To find the measure of the exterior angle \( a \), we can use the property that the exterior angle of a polygon (in this case, a triangle) is equal to the sum of the two opposite interior angles.

Given the two interior angles of 35° each:

\[ a = 35° + 35° \]

Calculating this:

\[ a = 35° + 35° = 70° \]

Therefore, the measure of the exterior angle \( a \) is:

\[ a = 70° \]
