The total number of degrees in a triangle is 180. this will not change no matter what type of triangle it is. (obtuse, acute, right angle, etc)

Well, honey, the sum of angles in a triangle is always 180 degrees. So, if you already have angles measuring 45 and 85 degrees, just subtract their sum from 180 to find the measure of the third angle. In this case, the third angle would be 50 degrees. Easy peasy lemon squeezy!
40 degrees ! The internal angles of any triangle always total 180 degrees. Since you already know two angles (50 & 90) - the difference is 40.

In a right triangle, all the angle measurements together add up to be 180 degrees. And since it is a right triangle, one of the three angles is 90 degrees so if you are given one of the angles other than the right angle's measurements, you can find the angle measurements. Here's an example: There is a right triangle. One angle measures to be 45 degrees. What is the missing angle measure? Well we know that one angle must be 90 degrees and the other (as we were told) is 45 degrees. 90+45=135 and we know that a right triangle=180 degrees total and 180-135= 45. The missing angle is equal to 45 degrees! hope this makes sense and it helped.
