Check out the attached image. I drew what I think your book is showing. The figure on the left is triangle ABC without any extended segments. The figure on the right has segment AB extended shown in red. This forms the exterior angle x
The rule that connects x, y and z together is the remote interior angle theorem. It says that adding two interior angles is going to be equal to the exterior angle that is not touching either interior angle. The "remote" part means "far away" so just think of the two angles that are furthest way or not touching the exterior angle in question.
In terms of algebra, the rule is
x+y = z

Isosceles right triangles have two equal sides (a and b) that are not the hypotenuse (c). And when two sides are equal, so are their opposite angles. There are only 180° degrees in any triangles, thus the right angle = 90°, so 90 left for the two equal, means that 2x=90,
x = 45°.
There are several ways to go about solving a triangle like this. The best and easiest is simply to memorize that the hypotenuse is exactly root2 times the other sides. Or, each isosceles side is the hypotenuse (c) ÷ root2
Another way to do it is the longer proof of Pythagorean Theorem:
x = 45°.
