Final answer:

The remaining two angles of the quadrilateral are 15° and 95°, found by subtracting the given angles from 360° and dividing the result in a 3:19 ratio.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the measures of the two angles in the given ratio, we can use the fact that the sum of all angles in a quadrilateral is 360°.

Let’s denote the measures of the two unknown angles as 3x and 19x, where x is a common multiplier.

We know that the sum of all angles in a quadrilateral is 360°.

Therefore, we can set up an equation based on this fact:

155° + 95° + 3x + 19x = 360°

Combining like terms, we get:

250° + 22x = 360°

Subtracting 250° from both sides gives us:

22x = 110°

Dividing both sides by 22 yields:

x = 5°

Now that we have found the value of x, we can find the measures of the two unknown angles:

3x = 3 × 5° = 15°

19x = 19 × 5° = 95°

Therefore, the measures of the two angles in the ratio of 3:19 are 15° and 95°.
