exterior angle

Angle beyond polygon

An exterior angle is formed when one side of a polygon is extended beyond a vertex, creating an angle between that extension and the adjacent side.

In a triangle, each exterior angle equals the sum of the two non-adjacent interior angles.

The exterior angles of any convex polygon sum to 360 degrees.
