Based on the diagram, the following equality holds true.
m∠ A + m∠ B = 180^(∘)
Consider two angles that form a linear pair. These angles are adjacent and form a straight angle.
By the Angle Addition Postulate, we know that the measure of the angle formed by ∠ A and ∠ B is equal to the sum of the measures of ∠ A and ∠ B. However, ∠ A and ∠ B form a straight angle, which has a measure of 180^(∘). This gives us the required equality.
m∠ A + m∠ B = 180^(∘)
