Question
find the measure of the missing angle.
Step1: Recall angle - sum property of a triangle
The sum of the interior angles of a triangle is 180°.
Step2: Let the missing angle be \(x\)
We know one angle is 90° (right - angle) and assume the other given non - right angle is 40° (although it's not clearly visible in the small triangle image, but for a right - triangle with two non - right angles, if we assume the visible non - right angle is 40°). Then \(x+90^{\circ}+40^{\circ}=180^{\circ}\).
Step3: Solve for \(x\)
\(x = 180^{\circ}-(90^{\circ}+40^{\circ})=180^{\circ}-130^{\circ}=50^{\circ}\)
