Answer #1

Let ABC be a triangle as shown in figure below. Draw lines AD and CE parallel to the sides BC and BA respectively. Extend Side BA to point F.

Now  BAC and BCA are interior angles and CAF is an exterior angle at vertex A.

Hence, we have

But, as is a straight angle and for non-trivial triangles therefore

o.

Hence, the theorem.
