Given data:

The first angle given is ∠1 =90°.

The second angle given is ∠2 =45°.

The expression for the angle sum property of the triangle is,


\angle1+\angle2+\angle3=180^(\circ)

Substitute the given values in the above expression.


\begin{gathered} 90^(\circ)+45^(\circ)+\angle3=180^(\circ) \\ \angle3=180^(\circ)-135^(\circ) \\ =45^(\circ) \end{gathered}

Thus, the unknown angle is 45 degrees.
