remote interior angles
each of the two nonadjacent interior angles corresponding to each exterior angle of a triangle
Remote interior angles are a type of angle used in geometry. These angles are formed when two parallel lines are intersected by a transversal line. Remote interior angles are angles that are positioned on opposite sides of the transversal and on different parallel lines.
To better understand remote interior angles, imagine two parallel lines that are intersected by a third line, forming eight angles. These eight angles can be divided into two groups of four angles each, with the angles in the same group being located on the same side of the transversal line. The remote interior angles are those two angles that are located on opposite sides of the transversal line and on different parallel lines.
In terms of measurement, remote interior angles are supplementary. This means that if the measure of one remote interior angle is known, the measure of the other remote interior angle can be found by subtracting the known angle from 180 degrees.
For example, if angle 1 measures 120 degrees, then angle 4, the remote interior angle, would measure 60 degrees (180 – 120 = 60).
