Click on Move tool >> drag point A, B or C.	Using the Move tool drag the points A, B or C. Observe that, the sum of the angles of the triangle always shows 180 degrees.
Point to segment BC. Click on Line tool >> click on points B and C.	Now we will draw a line extending segment BC. Click on the Line tool, then click on points B and C.
Click on Point tool> click next to C.	Using the Point tool we will mark a point D on line f next to C.
Point to triangle ABC. Click on Angle tool >> click the points DCA.	Now we will measure the exterior angle of triangle ABC. Click on the Angle tool and then click on the points DCA.
Click on Move tool drag the labels of the angles and point.	Using the Move tool, drag the overlapping labels of the angles and points.
Point to angle epsilon in Graphics veiw .	We will now learn to change the colour of angle epsilon.
Right-click on angle epsilon. From the sub-menu select Object Properties.	Right-click on angle epsilon. From the sub-menu, select Object Properties.
Preferences window opens.	Preferences window opens.
Click on Color tab >> choose colour to Maroon >> drag Opacity slider.	In the Color tab change the colour to Maroon and drag the Opacity slider.
Click on X button to close.	Close the Preferences window.
Point to angle epsilon.	Now we will check if exterior angle is equal to sum of interior opposite angles.
Point to input bar. Open parenthesis. Inside parenthesis, select alpha from symbols table, press plus sign on the keyboard, select beta. Press Enter.	In the input bar, open the parentheses. Inside the parenthesis, select alpha from the symbols table. Then press the plus sign on the keyboard and select beta. Press Enter.
