Proposition XI.22

If there be three plane angles of which two, taken together in any manner, are greater than the remaining one, and they are contained by equal straight lines, it is possible to construct a triangle out of the straight lines joining the extremities of the equal straight lines.

Proof

The plane-angle inequality (XI.20) is precisely the triangle inequality for the joining chords; by I.22 (construction of a triangle on three given segments) the resulting triangle exists.
