John lays tile for a living. While trying to create the perfect design for his client, he then drew this pattern containing two right angles and an isosceles triangle.

For the triangles to fit together perfectly, John must determine the measure of angles 1, 2, and 3.

Answer:

Angle 1= 58

Angle 2= 64

Angle 3= 58

Explanation:

The two smaller triangles are each right triangles and every triangle equals 180 so add 32 degrees and 90 degrees ( 90+32=122) and subtract that from 180 and you get angles 1 and 3 from your isosceles triangle

then you add both angles 1 and 3 from your isosceles triangle which are 58 degrees each (58+58=116) and subtract that from 180 (180-116=64) and you get angle 2
