If the measures of two angles of a triangle are 86 deg and 33 deg what is the measure of the third angle? The measure of the third angle is (Simplify your answer)

Answer 1

The sum of the measures of the three angles in a triangle is always 180 degrees.

Let's call the measure of the third angle "x".
So the sum of the measures of the three angles is 86 degrees + 33 degrees + x = 180 degrees.

Combining like terms, we get 119 degrees + x = 180 degrees.

To solve for x, we subtract 119 from both sides of the equation:
x = 180 degrees - 119 degrees.

Therefore, the measure of the third angle is x = 61 degrees.
