To find the measure of angle B in the triangle, you can use the Triangle Angle Sum Theorem, which states that the sum of the angles in a triangle equals 180°.

In this case, we have:

  • Angle A = a = 100°
  • Angle C = c = 55°

We need to find angle B. According to the theorem:

\[ A + B + C = 180° \]

Substituting the known values:

\[ 100° + B + 55° = 180° \]

Now, combine the angles:

\[ 155° + B = 180° \]

Next, isolate B by subtracting 155° from both sides:

\[ B = 180° - 155° \]

This simplifies to:

\[ B = 25° \]

Thus, the measure of angle B is 25°.
