Answer:

62° and 96°

Explanation:

The exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the 2 remote interior angles.

Let x be the other remote interior angle, then

22 + x = 84 ( subtract 22 from both sides )

x = 62

The sum of the 3 angles in a triangle = 180°

Subtract the sum of the 2 known angles from 180 for third angle

third angle = 180 - (62 + 22) = 180 - 84 = 96

The other 2 interior angles are 62° and 96°
