Theorem: If any side of a triangle is extended, then the exterior angle so formed is the sum of the two opposite interior angles of the triangle.
Exterior Angle Property of a Triangle
In the given figure, the side BC of ∆ABC is extended. The exterior angle ∠ACD so formed is the sum of measures of ∠ABC and ∠CAB.
Proof: From figure 3, ∠ACB and ∠ACD forms a linear pair since they represent the adjacent angles on a straight line.
Thus, ∠ACB + ∠ACD = 180° ……….(2)
Also, from the angle sum property it follows that:
∠ACB + ∠BAC + ∠CBA = 180° ……….(3)
From equation (2) and (3) it follows that:
∠ACD = ∠BAC + ∠CBA
