Question 642660: I need to find the measure of the third angle and they give me this:
x°, (123 – x)°
how can i do it?

Let y = third missing angle

Since the three angles (in any triangle) must add to 180, we know that

x+(123-x) + y = 180

123 + y = 180

y = 180 - 123

y = 57


So the third angle is 57 degrees
