- Abstract:
An interactive applet and associated web page that demonstrate the alternate exterior angles that are formed where a transversal crosses two lines. The applets shows the two possible pairs of angles alternating when in animation mode. By dragging the three lines, it can be seen that the angles are congruent only when the lines are parallel. When not in animated mode, there is a button that alternates the two pairs of angles. The text on the page discusses the properties of the angle pairs both in the parallel and non-parallel cases. Applet can be enlarged to full screen size for use with a classroom projector. This resource is a component of the Math Open Reference Interactive Geometry textbook project at http://www.mathopenref.com.

- Abstract:
An interactive applet and associated web page that demonstrate the exterior angles that are formed where a transversal crosses two lines. The applet shows the two possible pairs of exterior angles in turn when in animation mode. By dragging the three lines, it can be seen that the angles are supplementary only when the lines are parallel. When not in animated mode, there is a button that alternates the two pairs of angles. The text on the page discusses the properties of the angle pairs both in the parallel and non-parallel cases. Applet can be enlarged to full screen size for use with a classroom projector.

- Abstract:
An interactive applet and associated web page that demonstrate the relationship of the interior and exterior angles of a polygon. The applet shows an irregular polygon where one vertex is draggable. As it is dragged the interior and exterior angles at that vertex are displayed, and a formula is continuously updated showing that they are supplementary. The tricky part is when the vertex is dragged inside the polygon making it concave. The applet shows how the relationship still holds provided you get the signs of the angles right. Applet can be enlarged to full screen size for use with a classroom projector.

- Abstract:
An interactive applet and associated web page that demonstrate that the exterior angles of a polygon always add to a constant (360 or 720 depending on your point of view). The applet shows a polygon where the user can drag the vertices to reshape it, alter the number of sides, make it convex or concave, regular or irregular. The applet shows the angle summation in real time, demonstrating that it is always constant. It also demonstrates how exterior angles are accounted for in concave polygons, where the exterior angle seems to be inside the figure. These are taken as negative angles and the sum demonstrably remains the same. Applet can be enlarged to full screen size for use with a classroom projector.

- Abstract:
An interactive applet and associated web page that demonstrate the exterior angles of a triangle. The applet shows a triangle where the user can drag any vertex to reshape it. The exterior angles are shown and a running calculation shows that no matter how you change the triangle, the exterior angles always add up to 360 degrees An exterior angle is equal to the sum of the opposite interior angles Applet can be enlarged to full screen size for use with a classroom projector.
