Answer:

Your three angle measurements are 45, 45, and 90

Explanation:

Since we know that all the measures of a triangle add up to 180, we have:

45 + b + c = 180

Then, since it is a right triangle, we know one of the sides is 90 degrees, giving us:

45 + 90 + c = 180

Then subtract 135 from both sides:

c = 45

So, your three angle measurements are 45, 45, and 90.

Hope this helped!
