Answer:

The correct option is;

45°

Explanation:

By angle sum theorem, we have that the sum of angles in a triangle = 180°

Therefore, we have;

When the interior angles of the triangle are constructed to be 60° and 75°, we have by the angle sum theorem;

The third angle + 60° + 75° = 180°

Which gives;

The third angle = 180°- 60° - 75° = 180°- 135° = 45°

The measurement of the third angle by the angle sum theorem will be 45°

The correct option is ∠third angle = 45°.
