Theorem : If a side of a triangle is produced, then the exterior angle so formed is equal to the sum of the two interior opposite angles.

Given      :     A ▲ABC whose side BC has been produced to D       forming exterior angle ∠4 To Prove :     ∠4 = ∠1 + ∠3 Proof       : We have, ∠1 + ∠2 + ∠3 = 180°                                                ( Sum of the angles of a triangle)                  Also,         ∠2 + ∠4 = 180°                                                   ( Linear pair)                  ∴               ∠2 + ∠4 = ∠1 + ∠2 + ∠3                   Hence,       ∠4 = ∠1 + ∠3.
