Answer:

50°

Explanation:

180 is the total of all the angles added together.

so if you subtract the 2 you already know from the total, you’ll have the size of the angle M.

180 - (52+78) = 180 - 130 = 50°

Answer:

<M = 50

Explanation:

The sum of the angles of a triangle is 180

52+ 78+x = 180

Combine like terms

130 +x = 180

Subtract 130 from each side

130+x-130 =180-130

x = 50
