Answer:

The third angle is 50°

Explanation:

In a triangle, all the angles must add up to 180° such that:


180= a+b+c where a , b, and c are all angles

Since we know that two of the angles are 57° and 73°, we can subtract them from 180° to find the third angle.

Using the above equation, we can rearrange it to solve for the missing value:

180°= a + b + c

180°=57°+ 73° +c Substitute the angles in for any 2 variables

180°- 57°-73°= c Rearrange the equation to solve for last variable

50°= c

The third angle is 50°
