[parent] corollary to the compositum of a Galois extension and another extension is Galois (Corollary)
Corollary 1   Let $E/K$ be a Galois extension of fields, let $F/K$ be an arbitrary extension and assume that $E$ and $F$ are both subfields of some other larger field $T$ . The compositum of $E$ and $F$ is here denoted by $EF$ . Then $[EF:F] = [E:E\cap F]$ .

This follows immediately from item (2) of the theorem.
