No. An interior angle plus its exterior partner add up to 180 degrees.
In order for an exterior angle to be acute, its interior partner would
have to be obtuse, which doesn't happen in an acute triangle.

No, an acute-angled triangle cannot have an acute exterior angle. By definition, an exterior angle of a triangle is formed by extending one of the sides of the triangle. In an acute-angled triangle, all interior angles are less than 90 degrees, so extending any side will create an obtuse exterior angle.
No :) Because one angle of the triangle is always acute and so the exterior has to be obtuse.
It is: 180-interior angle = exterior angle
When any side of triangle is extended outwards then exterior angle is formed. Sum of this exterior angle and adjacent interior angle = 180o. If exterior angle = 180o(straight angle) then interior adjacent angle is 0o which is not possible. So exterior angle can't be straight angle.
An exterior angle of a triangle is equal in measure to the sum of the other two interior angles.
It is the equilateral triangle that has the largest exterior angle of 120 degrees
