Math Problem Statement

Find the missing angles on the triangle. What is the measure of ∠q?

Solution

To solve for the missing angle q\angle q in the triangle, we use the following properties of a triangle:

  1. The sum of the angles in any triangle is always 180180^\circ.
  2. One angle is given as 4545^\circ, and another angle is a right angle (9090^\circ).

Steps:

  1. Add the known angles: 90+45=13590^\circ + 45^\circ = 135^\circ
  2. Subtract the sum of the known angles from 180180^\circ to find q\angle q: q=180135=45\angle q = 180^\circ - 135^\circ = 45^\circ

Final Answer:

The missing angle q\angle q is: mq=45m\angle q = 45^\circ
