2. If a side of a triangle is produced, then the exterior angle so formed is equal to the sum of the two interior opposite angles.

3. An exterior angle of a triangle is greater than either of its interior opposite angles.

4. If one angle of a triangle is a right angle, then the other two angles are acute angles. (Thus no triangle can have two right angles.)

5. The two acute angles in every right triangle are complementary.

6. The sum of all interior angles of an n-sided polygon is (n -2) × 180°

7. The sum of all exterior angles of an n-sided polygon is 360°.(one exterior angle at each vertex)
