To solve the problem, we need to show that the sum of the exterior angles formed by extending side BC of triangle ABC is greater than angle A by two right angles (or 180 degrees). Let's denote the angles formed by the extensions as angle 4 and angle 5. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Angles**: - Let angle A be the angle at vertex A of triangle ABC. - When side BC is extended to both sides, we create two exterior angles: angle 4 (formed at point B) and angle 5 (formed at point C). ...
