how do we use the exterior angle theorem?

To use the exterior angle theorem we have to understand what is an exterior angel is
 Exterior Angel -  triangle is equal to the sum of the measures of the two non-adjacent interior angles of the triangle.
The exterior angle theorem is that the exterior angle is the sum the two opposite angle.

for example say <b 60° and <a is 60° the sum of both those angles will equal <d making it 120° this means that <c is 60° (180°-120°= 60°)

What are the special angel we can create with parallel lines ?


What are the special angel we can create with parallel lines ?
Parallel Lines Are lines that never intersect and have the same slope.
 With these lines we can make angle out of them like: Transversal, Corresponding Angel, Alternate Exterior Angle ,Alternative Interior Angel
  
Transversal - A line that intersects two or more other coplanar line

Corresponding Angel - Angel that are in the same position relative to the transversal and line


 Alternate Exterior Angle - If two parallel like are cut by a transversal  then alternate interior angles are equal
  
Alternate interior angels - If two parallel like are cut by a transversal then alternate exterior angles are equal

How do we use the special segments in triangles?

Special Segment In Triangles have three main uses Median, Altitude & Angle Bisector 
  • MEDIAN
    - The vertex often angle to the midpoint of the opposite side.
       EX ://  Line1 will go from point C to the middle of A&B (D)
  • ALTITUDE
     - The height of a triangle meets the "ground" at a right angle.
  • ANGLE BISECTOR
    - Bisects on angle in half creating two congruent angles.
      EX :// Line 1 goes from point A1 to T1  both sides are congruent to each other
