Explanation:

Step1: Identify total angle sum

The three angles form a right angle, so their sum is $90^\circ$.

Step2: Set up equation for $a$

Let the unknown angle be $a$. The equation is $a + 41^\circ + 90^\circ
eq 90^\circ$ correction: the three angles (41°, right angle, a) form a straight angle? No, correction: the two non-right angles add to 90° because they are complementary within the right angle. Wait, correct: the right angle is 90°, so $a + 41^\circ = 90^\circ$

Step3: Solve for $a$

Rearrange to solve for $a$: $a = 90^\circ - 41^\circ$
$a = 49^\circ$

Answer:

$49$
