Answer :- An exterior angle is created by extending one side of a triangle.


Explanation:-

Let ABC a triangle with interior angles ∠A, ∠B and ∠C and one of its side AB is extended to a point P such that a new angle ∠ACP is formed outside the triangle ABC named as exterior angle of ABC.

⇒∠BCA and ∠ACP are supplementary angles.

Also the measure of exterior angle is equal to sum of the opposite interior angles of a triangle.
