    The exterior angle of one is 125°. exterior angle is when one of the sides of a triangle is extended and the adjacent angle of that interior angle of the triangle.

    the interior angle + exterior angle together make a straight line.

    central angle of a straight line is 180°.

    interior angle + 125° = 180°

    interior angle = 55°

    one of the other angles is 35°

    the sum of the interior angles of a triangle is 180°

    we already know magnitudes of 2 angles, they are 55° and 35°

    the third angle - X is

    55° + 35° + X = 180°

    X + 90° = 180°

    X = 90°

    the third angle is a right angle.

    triangles with 1 right angle is called a right angled triangle

    triangles with 1 obtuse angle is called an obtuse angled triangle

    triangles with all three angles being acute angles is called an acute angled triangle

    in this instance one of the angles is a right angle

    therefore its a right angle triangle
