I am assuming that the figure here is a triangle. If it is, then the sum of the angles inside that triangle is 180. This is true for all triangles. Knowing this, if one angle measures 124, then you only have 180-124=56 left to complete the 180. And that is also the sum of the other two angles of the triangle.
