Answer:

∠1 = 36°

Explanation:

The triangle in the image is a right triangle.

The sum of interior angles in a triangle is equal to 180° and one of the angles is given as 54° while the other would be 90° since this is a right triangle.

90 + 54 + ∠1 = 180 add like terms

144 + ∠1 = 180 subtract 144 from both sides

∠1 = 36°
