Answer:
30° and 60°
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the interior angles be ∠x₁ (smaller) and ∠x₂ (larger), and the exterior angle ∠X.
Making the statements into equations :
Size of an exterior angle of a triangle is the supplement of smaller of two opposite interior angles ⇒ ∠X + ∠x₁ + ∠x₂ = 180° [Equation 1]
Greater of the opposite interior angles exceeds smaller by 30° :
⇒ ∠x₂ = ∠x₁ + 30° [Equation 2]
By exterior angle property :
⇒ ∠x₁ + ∠x₂ = ∠X [Equation 3]
Substituting Equation 3 in Equation 1 :
⇒ ∠x₁ + ∠x₂ + ∠x₁ + ∠x₂ = 180°
⇒ 2 (∠x₁ + ∠x₂) = 180°
⇒ ∠x₁ + ∠x₂ = 90°
⇒ ∠x₂ = 90° - ∠x₁ [Equation 4]
Substituting Equation 4 in Equation 2 :
⇒ 90° - ∠x₁ = ∠x₁ + 30°
⇒ 2∠x₁ = 60°
⇒ ∠x₁ = 30°
Substituting the value of ∠x₁ in Equation 2 :
⇒ ∠x₂ = 30° + 30°
⇒ ∠x₂ = 60°
The measures of the interior angles are 30° and 60°
