The sum of all exterior angles, formed when two lines are cut by a transversal line , is

When a transversal intersects two lines, the two lines are parallel if and only if interior angles on the same side of the transversal and exterior angles on the same side of the transversal are supplementary (sum to 180°).
In illustration one of the example section above, LINE 1 and LINE 2 are parallel and both interior and exterior angles on the same side of the transversal are supplementary.
In illustration two of the example section above, LINE 1 and LINE 2 are NOT parallel and both interior and exterior angles on the same side of the transversal are NOT supplementary.

Step-by-step explanation:
If the transversal cuts across parallel lines (the usual case) then exterior angles are supplementary (add to 180°). So in the figure above, as you move points A or B, the two angles shown always add to 180°.
