Answer:

the sum of the remaining exterior angles is 174⁰

Explanation:

Given;

the measure of two exterior angles of a decagon = 97° and 89°

The total sum of exterior angles of a polygon is 360⁰

let the sum of the remaining exterior angles = x

sum of the given exterior angles = 97⁰ + 89⁰ = 186⁰

x + 186⁰ = 360⁰

x = 360⁰ - 186⁰

x = 174⁰

Therefore, the sum of the remaining exterior angles is 174⁰
