Find the measure of each exterior angle of an equilateral triangle.

उत्तर
Given to find the measure of each exterior angle of an equilateral triangle consider an
equilateral triangle ABC.
We know that for an equilateral triangle
AB = BC = CA and
`∠ABC =∠BCA =∠CAB=180^@/3=60^@` .......1
Now,
Extend side BC to D, CA to E and AB to F.
Here
BCD is a straight line segment
`⇒∠BCD = Straight angle 180^@`
`∠BCA+∠ACD=180^@`
`⇒60^@+∠ACD=180^@`
Similarly, we can find ∠FAB and ∠FBC also as `120^@` because ABC is an equilateral
triangle
`∴∠ACD =∠EAB =∠FBC =120^@`
Hence, the median of each exterior angle of an equilateral triangle is `120^@`
