What you would do is add 50+30=80. And a triangle has to be 180 so it would be C)100 because 100+80=180

To make a triangle, the angles must add up to 180. Add the two angles given to you: 50 + 30 = 80. Next you subtract the sum of those two angles from 180: 180 - 8 = 100. The third angle will measure C) 100°.

Hope this helps,
