Eureka Math Grade 8 Module 2 Lesson 14 Example Answer Key
Example 1
Find the measure of angle x.
Answer:
We need to find the sum of the measures of the remote interior angles to find the measure of the exterior angle x:
14+30=44. Therefore, the measure of ∠x is 44°.
→ Present an informal argument that proves you are correct.
→ We know that triangles have a sum of interior angles that is equal to 180°. We also know that straight angles are 180°. ∠ABC must be 136°, which means that ∠x is 44°.
Example 2.
Find the measure of angle x.
Answer:
We need to find the sum of the measures of the remote interior angles to find the measure of the exterior angle x: 44+32=76. Therefore, the measure of ∠x is 76°.
→ Present an informal argument that proves you are correct.
→ We know that triangles have a sum of interior angles that is equal to 180°. We also know that straight angles are 180°. ∠ACB must be 104°, which means that ∠x is 76°.
Example 3.
Find the measure of angle x.
Answer:
180-121=59. Therefore, the measure of ∠x is 59°.
Students should notice that they are not given the two remote interior angles associated with the exterior angle x.
For that reason, they must use what they know about straight angles (or supplementary angles) to find the measure of
angle x.
Example 4.
Find the measure of angle x.
Answer:
129-45=84. Therefore, the measure of ∠x is 84°.

Exercises 1–4
Use the diagram below to complete Exercises 1–4.
Exercise 1.

Answer:
The exterior angle is ∠ZYP, and the related remote interior angles are ∠YZX and ∠ZXY.
Exercise 2.
Name a second exterior angle and the related remote interior angles.
Answer:
The exterior angle is ∠XZQ, and the related remote interior angles are ∠ZYX and ∠ZXY.
Exercise 3.
Name a third exterior angle and the related remote interior angles.
Answer:
The exterior angle is ∠RXY, and the related remote interior angles are ∠ZYX and ∠XZY.
Exercise 4.
Show that the measure of an exterior angle is equal to the sum of the measures of the related remote interior angles.
Answer:
Triangle XYZ has interior angles ∠XYZ, ∠YZX, and ∠ZXY. The sum of those angles is 180°. The straight angle ∠XYP also has a measure of 180° and is made up of angles ∠XYZ and ∠ZYP. Since the triangle and the straight angle have the same number of degrees, we can write the sum of their respective angles as an equality:
∠XYZ+∠YZX+∠ZXY=∠XYZ+ZYP.
Both the triangle and the straight angle share ∠XYZ. We can subtract the measure of that angle from the triangle and the straight angle. Then, we have
∠YZX+∠ZXY=∠ZYP,
where the angle ∠ZYP is the exterior angle, and the angles ∠YZX and ∠ZXY are the related remote interior angles of the triangle. Therefore, the sum of the measures of the remote interior angles of a triangle are equal to the measure of the exterior angle.

Question 10.
Write an equation that would allow you to find the measure of angle x. Present an informal argument showing that your answer is correct.
Answer:
Since y+z=x, the measure of angle x is (y+z)°. We know that triangles have a sum of interior angles that is equal to 180°. We also know that straight angles are 180°.
Then, ∠y+∠z+∠BAC=180°, and ∠x+∠BAC=180°. Since both equations are equal to 180°,
then ∠y+∠z+∠BAC=∠x+∠BAC. Subtract ∠BAC from each side of the equation, and you get ∠y+∠z=∠x.
