ANSWER
The measure of an exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the measures of the two non-adjacent interior angles. (Non-adjacent interior angles may also be referred to as remote interior angles.) FACTS: An exterior ∠ is equal to the addition of the two Δ angles not right next to it.

Given :- ∆ABC, AB is produced to D, where angle CBD is the exterior angle.
To prove :- angle 1 + angle 3 = angle 4
Proof :- From given ∆ABC,
Sum of the three angles = 180°
As per the diagram,
angle 1 + angle 2 + angle 3 = 180° ...(1)
Now, CB is perpendicular to AD by construction.
Therefore angle 2 and angle 4 are supplementary.
i.e. angle 2 + angle 4 = 180° .....(2)
equating equation (1) & (2),
angle 1 + angle 2 + angle 3 = angle 2 + angle 4
therefore, angle 1 + angle 3 = angle 4
