Answer:

66.0°

Explanation:

The sum of the measures of the interior angles in a triangle is 180°.

Let "x" represent the measure of the third interior angle. We can use this to set up an equation:

84.0° + 30.0° + x = 180°

Add like terms:

114.0° + x = 180°

Subtract 114.0° from both sides:

x = 66°

The question asks for the answer to be in degrees to one decimal place, therefore:

x=66.0°
