Step-by-Step Solution
If the exterior angle 95° = 5 times an opposite interior angle , then → °.
Answer: D) 19
In a triangle, an exterior angle is 95° and equals five times one of its opposite interior angles. Find that interior angle in degrees.

Key idea: Exterior angle property
Extend one side of a triangle past a vertex. The angle formed outside the triangle is the **exterior angle** at that vertex.
**Exterior angle = sum of the two opposite interior angles.**
So if the two non-adjacent interior angles are 50° and 60°, the exterior angle = 50° + 60° = 110°.
Why? The exterior angle and the adjacent interior angle form a linear pair (sum 180°), and the three interior angles also sum to 180°. Subtract: exterior = sum of the other two interior angles.
