What can you say about the sum of an exterior angle of a triangle and its adjacent angle ?
Look at the following diagram:



Interior and Exterior Angles are marked as , , &

You can also observe that:
∠ 1 = Exterior angle
∠ 2 = Adjacent Interior Angle to Exterior ∠ 1

Now, you can notice that ∠ 1 & ∠ 2
Are on same Vertex C
Share common Arm AC
Therefore, ∠ 1 & ∠ 2 are Adjacent Angles………………(Statement 1)
Also, ∠ 1 & ∠ 2 are on the same straight line BC……...(Statement 2)

So, from Statement 1 and Statement 2; we get
∠ 1 & ∠ 2 forms a linear pair.

Or we can also say that "Exterior angle of a triangle and its adjacent angle forms a Linear Pair".

Hence, sum of an exterior angle of a triangle and its adjacent angle is equals to 180
