(a) Define an interior angle and an exterior angle of a triangle. (b) By considering a straight line passing through one vertex of a triangle, explain with reasoning why the sum of the three interior angles of any triangle is 180∘180^\circ. (c) Using the result of part (b), describe how you can deduce that the measure of an exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the two opposite interior angles.
