Find the missing angle.
obtuse angle if im not misstaken
It might be
Hello @Mzshay438 Your question is using the Exterior Angle Theorem See the formula here: https://www.mathsisfun.com/geometry/triangle-exterior-angle-theorem.html
because is a bigger angle and goes over 90 %
The idea we want to use is that the missing angle described in your picture is going to equal 35 + 95
To find the missing angle you have to add up the angles given. Then subtract from 180.
So you add them up
correct
And its equal to something
Yes, the angles in a triangle add up to 180

Ok
I think it's 50

Is it 50
then what is 180 - 50 = ?
no, the angle with the question mark is not 50
\(\color{#0cbb34}{\texi add up 35+95 and got 130, and then I subtract 180-130 and got 50
\(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{Originally Posted by}}\) @Angle no, the angle with the question mark is not 50 \(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{End of Quote}}\) Yea, I just saw that that's why I deleted the answer given.

Using the Exterior Angle Theorem: https://www.mathsisfun.com/geometry/triangle-exterior-angle-theorem.html your answer is equal to 35 + 90
It's 35 and 95 how you got 90
that's a typo, my bad
35 + 95 = your answer
So it's 130
correct
That's right ain't it
yes, 130 is correct
Wait what? wouldnt it be 50 because you have to add the other two angles and then subtract it from 180
50 is the interior angle called RPQ this problem is looking for the measure of angle QPG
ohhhhhh I see what angle its talking about I understand now sorry it is 130
When I add up 130 35 and 95 it add up to 260
So when I add up 50 35 and 95 it add up to 180
what are you doing? 130 is your answer
That would be the inside angles added up, the question asked for the outside angle
Ok thank you
Yep!
Ok gotcha
Thank you @angle
