Practice makes perfect
We have been given measures of the two angles of a triangle, △ AWP.
We will find the measure of the third angle using the Triangle Angle-Sum Theorem. This theorem tells us that the measures of the interior angles of a triangle must add to 180^(∘). If we let x be the unknown measure of the third angle, we can create an equation to solve for the third angle.
35+ 105+ x=180
140+x=180
x=40
The measure of the third angle is 40^(∘).
