Answer:

70 Degrees

Explanation:

All triangles add up to 180 degrees so add 44+26=70 180-70= 110 so remaining angle is 110. A straight line is 180 degrees so using the remaining angle of the blue triangle we find that 180-110=70 so B is 70 degrees.

Answer:


70\textdegree

Explanation:

The Exterior Angle Theorem states that in a triangle, the measure of an exterior angle is equal to the sum of its two remote interior angles.

In this case, the exterior angle is ∠
B and the remote interior angles measure
44\textdegree and
26\textdegree, so
m
B=44+26=70\textdegree. Hope this helps!
