To find the missing angle in a triangle when you have two angles, you can use the fact that the sum of the interior angles of a triangle is always 180 degrees.
In your case, you have two angles measuring 35° and 84°. To find the missing angle \(A\), you can use the following operation:
\[
A = 180^\circ - (35^\circ + 84^\circ)
\]
First, add the known angles:
\[
35^\circ + 84^\circ = 119^\circ
\]
Next, subtract that sum from 180°:
\[
A = 180^\circ - 119^\circ = 61^\circ
\]
Thus, the missing angle measures 61°.
