Exterior Angle Theorem

For a triangle:

The exterior angle d equals the angles a plus b.

The exterior angle d is greater than angle a, or angle b.

Example:

The exterior angle is 35 + 62 = 97

And 97 > 35
And 97 > 62

Why?
Because the interior angles of a triangle add to 180, and angles c+d also add to 180:

The interior angles of a triangle add to 180: a + b + c = 180

Angles c and d make a straight angle, which is 180: d + c = 180
So d + c equals a + b + c: d + c = a + b + c
Subtract c from both sides: d = a + b

Works For Any Triangle's Exterior Angle

Example:

The exterior angle is 40 + 27 = 67

And 67 > 40
And 67 > 27

Example: How big is angle d?

We can't calculate exactly, but we can say:

d > 61
