Let’s solve each triangle one by one. Remember:
The sum of all three angles in any triangle is always 180°. We’ll use that to find the missing angle in each case.
---
Problem 1:
Given angles: 59° and 67°
Missing angle = 180° - (59° + 67°) = 180° - 126° =
54°
Problem 2:
Given angles: 45° and 90°
Missing angle = 180° - (45° + 90°) = 180° - 135° =
45°
Problem 3:
Given angles: 20° and 129°
Missing angle = 180° - (20° + 129°) = 180° - 149° =
31°
Problem 4:
This looks like a triangle with two base angles given: 30° and 25°, and we’re asked for the top angle (the one at the intersection).
Missing angle = 180° - (30° + 25°) = 180° - 55° =
125°
*(Note: The lines cross, but the triangle formed has those two bottom angles — so same rule applies.)*
Problem 5:
Given angles: 65° and 33°
Missing angle = 180° - (65° + 33°) = 180° - 98° =
82°
Problem 6:
Given angles: 47° and 90°
Missing angle = 180° - (47° + 90°) = 180° - 137° =
43°
Problem 7:
Given angles: 77° and 29°
Missing angle = 180° - (77° + 29°) = 180° - 106° =
74°
Problem 8:
Given angles: 66° and 35°
Missing angle = 180° - (66° + 35°) = 180° - 101° =
79°
Problem 9:
Given angles: 70° and 29°
Wait — look carefully! The 70° is outside the triangle? No — actually, it’s labeled on the inside vertex. So yes, both are interior angles.
Missing angle = 180° - (70° + 29°) = 180° - 99° =
81°
*(Double-checking: Yes, all three angles are inside the triangle.)*
Problem 10:
Given angles: 40° and 50°
But wait — there’s an exterior angle shown. Actually, the question asks for the unknown angle *in the triangle*. The third angle inside the triangle is what we need.
So: Missing interior angle = 180° - (40° + 50°) = 180° - 90° =
90°
*(The line extending out is just showing the exterior angle — but we only care about the triangle’s internal angles.)*
Problem 11:
Given angles: 20° and 50°
Missing angle = 180° - (20° + 50°) = 180° - 70° =
110°
Problem 12:
Given angles: 30° and 75°
Missing angle = 180° - (30° + 75°) = 180° - 105° =
75°
