Abstract: Extriangulated categories were introduced by Nakaoka and Palu by extracting the similarities between exact categories and triangulated categories. A notion of homotopy cartesian square in an extriangulated category is defined in this article. We prove that in an extriangulated category with enough projective objects, the extension subcategory of two covariantly finite subcategories is covariantly finite. As an application, we give a simultaneous generalization of a result of X. W. Chen (2009) and of a result of R. Gentle, G. Todorov (1996).
