To find the exterior angle adjacent to angle \( C \) in the triangle, you can use the following rule:
Understanding Exterior Angles:
- The exterior angle is equal to the sum of the two non-adjacent (remote) interior angles of the triangle.
Given Information:
- \(\angle ABC = 115^\circ\)
- We need to find \(\angle ACB\) and then the exterior angle.
Using the Triangle Angle Sum Property:
- The sum of angles in a triangle is \(180^\circ\).
\[ \angle CAB + \angle ABC + \angle ACB = 180^\circ \]
Calculate \(\angle ACB\):
- Let's denote \(\angle CAB = x\) and \(\angle ACB = y\).
- Substitute the known angles:
\[ x + 115^\circ + y = 180^\circ \]
\[ x + y = 180^\circ - 115^\circ = 65^\circ \]
Finding the Exterior Angle:
- The exterior angle at \(\angle C\) is formed with the extension of side \(AB\).
- The exterior angle is equal to \(180^\circ - \angle ACB\).
Since \(x + y = 65^\circ\), \(\angle ACB\) is included in these angles, so the exterior angle equals \(115^\circ\) since it is the same as the included \(\angle ABC\).
Thus, the exterior angle adjacent to \(\angle C\) is \(115^\circ\).
