it is not possible. all angles in a triangle add up to 180 degrees. if you have a triagle with ONE acute Exterior angle, that means that the interior angle would be 91 degress or more. I know I may get confusing bu try to follow this: if that interior angle is 91 degrees, 180 - 91 = 89. that means you have 89 degrees left to use for the remaining two angles. the least. even if you made one of the two remaininng INTERIOR angles 1 degree or less, then youd still only have 88 degrees to use for the last interior angle. 88 is not more that 90, so the exterior angle would NOT be acute it would be OBTUSE. ALL TRIAGLES MUST HAVE 2 ACUTE INTERIOR ANGLES, other wise it iS NOT a traingle! there is no way, your teacher is either lying to you, stupid, or he has no idea what he is talking about, or is on crack. I hope this helps. you CAN have a triangle with 2 or 3 acute INTERIOR angles but NOT EXTERIOR! have a good day sir or ma'am!

If one exterior angle is acute<90º the corresponding supplementary interior angle would be >90º
If this occurs with two exterior angles
two interior angle would be > 90º and its sum > 180º which is absurd as the sum of the three angles of a triangle is 180º
