Answer

$G$

Work Step by Step

We know that the three interior angles of a triangle equal $180^{\circ}$. If we are already given two of the angles, we can figure out the third angle. Let us set up the equation to add the three angles together. One angle measures $68^{\circ}$, and the other measures $54^{\circ}$. Let $x$ be the measure of the last angle: $68 + 54 + x = 180$ Let's add the constants together on the left side of the equation to simplify: $122 + x = 180$ To solve for $x$, subtract $122$ from each side of the equation: $122 - 122 + x = 180 - 122$ Subtract to simplify: $x = 58$ The third angle measures $58^{\circ}$. This corresponds to option $G$.
