Recall the definition of an exterior angle of a triangle: it is formed by extending one side of the triangle, creating an angle adjacent to an interior angle.
Understand the Exterior Angle Theorem, which states that the measure of an exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the measures of the two non-adjacent (or remote) interior angles.
Identify the two non-adjacent interior angles relative to the exterior angle in question. These are the interior angles that are not adjacent to the exterior angle.
Express this relationship mathematically as: \(\text{Exterior Angle} = \text{Interior Angle}_1 + \text{Interior Angle}_2\), where \(\text{Interior Angle}_1\) and \(\text{Interior Angle}_2\) are the two non-adjacent interior angles.
Conclude that among the given options, the correct one is the sum of the measures of the two non-adjacent interior angles, as per the Exterior Angle Theorem.
