I think you mean if the sum of the measures of the angles of the triangle is 180 degrees. Well, in the first place why say If -- what else could it be? Hence, the condition on the problem is redundant.

Let represent the measure of angle A. Then:



Solve for , then calculate , and . Check your work by adding the results for the three angles to verify that the sum is 180.
