The Triangle Angle Sum Theorem states that the sum of the angles in a triangle is always 180 degrees. In your triangle, you have the following angles:

  • Angle A = 120 degrees
  • Angle B = 34 degrees
  • Angle C = ? (This is the angle we want to find)

According to the theorem:

\[ \text{Angle A} + \text{Angle B} + \text{Angle C} = 180^\circ \]

Plugging in the values we know:

\[ 120^\circ + 34^\circ + \text{Angle C} = 180^\circ \]

Now, combine the known angles:

\[ 154^\circ + \text{Angle C} = 180^\circ \]

To find Angle C, subtract 154 degrees from 180 degrees:

\[ \text{Angle C} = 180^\circ - 154^\circ = 26^\circ \]

Thus, the measure of the third angle (Angle C) is 26 degrees.
