The sum of the measures of the angles in a triangle is always 180°.
Let's label the third angle as x.
Therefore, using the Triangle Angle Sum Theorem, we can write the equation as follows:
63° + 40° + x = 180°
Combining like terms:
103° + x = 180°
Then, we can subtract 103° from both sides:
x = 180° - 103°
Simplifying:
x = 77°
Therefore, the measure of the third angle is 77°.
Use the Triangle Angle Sum Theorem to find the measure of the third angle if the first and second angle measure 63° and 40°. (1 point)
