Given :

▪︎Measure of ∠R = 90°

▪︎Segment OR = Segment RN

Which will mean, ∠O = ∠N.

Thus :


=\tt ∠R + ∠O + ∠ + N = 180


= \tt90 + x + x = 180


=\tt 90 + 2x = 180


= \tt2x = 180 - 90


=\tt 2x = 90


=\tt x = (90)/(2)


=\tt x = 45

Which means :

Measure of ∠O = 45°

Measure of ∠N = 45°

Therefore, the measures of these angles in ascending order = 45,45,90.
