$m\angle 4 = 70^\circ + 50^\circ = 120^\circ$.

The Exterior Angle Theorem is a useful theorem in geometry, and it can be used to solve a variety of problems.

Proof of the Exterior Angle Theorem

Given:
$\angle 4$ is an exterior angle of $\triangle ABC$

Prove:
$m\angle 1 + m\angle 2 = m\angle 4$

Proof:

1.
$\angle 4$ is an exterior angle of $\triangle ABC$.

2.
$\angle 3$ and $\angle 4$ form a linear pair. (Definition of an exterior angle)

3.
$\angle 3$ is supplementary to $\angle 4$. (Supplementary angles theorem)

4.
$m\angle 3 + m\angle 4 = 180^\circ$. (Definition of supplementary angles)

5.
$m\angle 1 + m\angle 2 + m\angle 3 = 180^\circ$. (Triangle Sum Theorem)

6.
$m\angle 1 + m\angle 2 = 180^\circ - m\angle 3$. (Subtracting
$m\angle 3$ from both sides of equation 5)

7.
$m\angle 1 + m\angle 2 = m\angle 4$. (Substituting equation 4 into equation 6)

Therefore, the exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the two remote interior angles.

In the diagram below,
$\angle 4$ is an exterior angle of
$\triangle ABC$.

Using the Exterior Angle Theorem, we can prove that
$m\angle 4 = m\angle 1 + m\angle 2$.

Proof:

1.
$\angle 4$ is an exterior angle of $\triangle ABC$.

2.
$\angle 3$ and $\angle 4$ form a linear pair

3.
$\angle 3$ is supplementary to $\angle 4$.

4.
$m\angle 3 + m\angle 4 = 180^\circ$.

5.
$m\angle 1 + m\angle 2 + m\angle 3 = 180^\circ$.

6.
$m\angle 1 + m\angle 2 = 180^\circ - m\angle 3$.

7.
$m\angle 1 + m\angle 2 = m\angle 4$.
