Explanation:

The sum of the interior angles of a triangle is equal to 180°. So from the figure, we can see that


m + 2m + (m + 10) = 180

Collecting all similar terms, we get


4m + 10 = 180 \Rightarrow 4m = 170

or


m = 42.5°

So the angle measures are now as follows:


m = 42.5°


2m = 85°


m+ 10 = 52.5°
