Geometry and Trigonometry practice question

The exterior angle at one vertex of a triangle measures 110°, and one of the two remote interior angles measures 45°. What is the measure, in degrees, of the other remote interior angle?

Answer: 65

An exterior angle equals the sum of the two remote interior angles: 110 − 45 = 65.

Common wrong answers

If you answered 25
25 subtracts 45 from 70.
If you answered 70
70 is the interior angle at the vertex with the exterior angle.
