Answer:

79 degrees.

Explanation:

It is just a rule of trigonometry that all the angles inside ANY triangle will add up to 180 degrees.

There's only 3 possible angles in a triangle, so if you know what the sum of 2 are, its easy to find the last one.

All you have to do is 180 - 101, which equals 79 degrees.

Hope this helped : )
