Answer:

130°

Explanation:

the sum of the angles in a triangle are 180°

we need to subtract the sum of the other two angles in order to find angle ∠QPG

180-(35+95)=180-130=50°

the question is asking for the external angle of angle ∠QPG (the value that we find when we subtract the angle from 180°)

so we are going to subtract 50 from 180

180-50=130°

2nd way:

the sum of the two inner angles are equal to the external angle of the third angle:

35+95=130°--> ∠QPG

Answer:

130

Explanation:

x + 95 + 35 = 180

x + 130 = 180

x = 50

x + y = 180

50 + y = 180

y = 130
