Given: The measurements of the two angles are 65∘.
To find m∠1 using assumption and explain the assumption reason.
It is given that the measurements of the two angles are 65∘. Therefore, x is:
The assumption made to find m∠1 is to subtract the sum of the two given angle measures 65 degrees and 65 degrees from 180 degrees. It is reasonable because the given tiles are triangular and the sum of the angles in the triangle is 180 degrees.

Given:- angle measures of a triangle 23∘,71∘ and 96∘
Explain:- these angle measures can be possible or not?
We use here angle sum property of a triangle, i.e. the sum of all interior angles is 180∘.
So,
23∘ + 71∘ + 96∘ = 190∘
This is not possible for a triangle.

Given:- ∠1 = 90∘ and ∠2 = ∠3
Find out:- all the possible values of exterior angles.
Find the values of angles 2 and 3 using angle sum property, then find the measure for the exterior angles by using exterior angle property for a triangle.
The triangle can be represented as follows:
Given that ∠1 = 90∘ and ∠2 = ∠3
Therefore, using angle sum property of the triangle,
∠1 + ∠2 + ∠3 = 180∘
Now the exterior angles 4, 5 and 6 can be found using the exterior angle property:
∴ ∠6 = 45° + 45°, ∠5 = 90° + 45° and ∠4 = 90° + 45°
∠6 = 90°, ∠5 = 135° and ∠4 = 135°
These are all the possible exterior angles for this triangle.
All possible values of the exterior angle are ∠6 = 90∘, ∠5 = 135∘ and ∠4 = 135∘

Given:- two angles are 32∘ and 87∘ and one exterior angle is 93∘
Find out:- all the interior angles and exterior angles of this triangle.
use the angle sum property of a triangle and exterior angle property.
By using the angle sum property of a triangle,
87∘ + 32∘ + ∠3 = 180∘
∠3 = 180∘ − 119∘
∠3 = 61∘
and ∠4 = 87∘ + 32∘ [exterior angle property of a triangle]
∠4 = 119∘
and ∠6 = 87∘ + 61∘ [exterior angle property of a triangle]
∠6 = 148∘
Hence, the diagram of the triangle can be drawn as:
The remaining interior angle is 61∘ and exterior angles are 119∘ and 148∘
The final diagram of the triangle is:

Page 357 Exercise 10 Answer
Given the figure.
Use the exterior angle theorem to find the required answer.
Notice that, ∠4 is an exterior angle of the given triangle. Moreover, angle 1 and ∠2 are its remote interior angles. Therefore, we can use the fact that the measure of an exterior angle of a triangle is, equal to the sum of the measures of its remote interior angles and calculate the value of x.
Our friend got the wrong measure of ∠4 because
he probably think that m∠1, m∠2 and m∠4 have the sum of 180∘
Therefore he got m∠4 = 51∘, which is the measure of ∠3, the third interior angle of the given triangle.
do not have the sum of 180∘
because, as we can see in the picture, not all three angles are interior.
The measure of the angle is ∠4 = 129∘.
