The measure of an
exterior angle is equal to the
sum of the
remote interior angles.
Proof:
Givens are angles a, b, c, 1, 2, 3.

- a+b+c = 180° (by sum of angles of triangle)
- b+c = 180-a (by subtraction)
- a+1 = 180° (by linear pair postulate)
- 1 = 180-a (subtraction)
- 1 = b+c (by substitution).
