Exploring the Exterior Angle Theorem

Mr. Duggal introduces the exterior angle theorem, explaining that the exterior angle of a triangle equals the sum of the two opposite interior angles. He demonstrates this with examples, showing how to apply the theorem to solve problems involving missing angles in triangles. The video covers the basic proof of the theorem and its practical applications, providing a solid foundation for understanding and using the exterior angle theorem in geometry.
