Triangle Interior and Exterior Angles: Quick Exploration

In the Geometry app below,

1) Use the POLYGON Toolbar Image tool to construct triangle ABC. 2) Select the ANGLE Toolbar Image tool. Then click anywhere inside the polygon. 3) Go to the Algebra view (click calculator icon upper left). 4) Calculate the sum of the measures of the interior angles of this triangle. Be sure to add the Greek letters when doing so! (See the video right below this app to see how to quickly do this in GeoGebra).

Quick (Silent) Demo

Select the MOVE Toolbar Image tool in the app above. Move any one (or more) of the triangle's vertices around. What can we conclude about the sum of the measures of the interior angles of any triangle?

Here, in this app, we have a triangle with its EXTERIOR ANGLES shown. Calculate the SUM of the measures of these exterior angles here in this app.

Question 2

Select the MOVE Toolbar Image tool. Move any one (or more) of the triangle's vertices around. What can we conclude about the exterior angles of this triangle? Be specific in your response.
