Answer

The measure of the third angle is calculated by angle sum property.

Work Step by Step

According to angle sum property, the sum of all the angles of a triangle is equal to\[180{}^\circ \] and the measure of the third angle is calculated by angle sum property. Example: In a triangle ABC, \[\angle 2=46{}^\circ \]and\[\angle 3=67{}^\circ \]. It is required to compute the value of angle\[\angle 1\]. According to angle sum property, the sum of all the angles of a triangle is\[180{}^\circ \]. The calculation is shown below as: \[\begin{align} & \angle 1+\angle 2+\angle 3=180{}^\circ \\ & \angle 1+46{}^\circ +67{}^\circ =180{}^\circ \\ & \angle 1=180{}^\circ -113{}^\circ \\ & \angle 1=67{}^\circ \end{align}\] The triangle can be shown as mentioned below:
