Answer:

105 degrees

Explanation:

Recall that the sum of angles in a triangle is 180 degrees. As such, where a, b and c are the angles of a triangle then

a + b + c = 180 ( all in degrees)

Given that two angles of a triangle measure 55 and 20, let the size of gthe 3rd be T then

55 + 20 + T = 180

simplify

75 + T = 180

Subtract 75 from both sides

T = 180 - 75

T = 105
