find the measure of the third angle of a triangle given that the first two angels are 44 degrees and 72 degrees

The total measure of the angles in a triangle is 180 degrees.

We know that two of them are 44 and 72 degrees.

We can use this information to solve for the third angle:

180 - (44 + 72) = 64 degrees.

Let the third angle be x.

The sum of the interior angles of all triangles is 180 degrees. Thus, you can set the interior angles' sum equal to 180 and solve for the third angle, x.

44 + 72 + x = 180

116 + x = 180 (collect like terms)

x = 64 (subtract 116 from both sides)

Answer:

The measure of the third angle is 64 degrees.
