Answer 1

The third angle of the triangle measures 40°.

Step-by-step explanation:

In a triangle, the sum of all angles is always 180 degrees. Since we know that two angles of the triangle measure 90° and 50°, we can find the measure of the third angle by subtracting the sum of the given angles from 180 degrees.

Third angle = 180° - 90° - 50° = 40°.

So, the third angle of the triangle measures 40°. Hence, the correct answer is b. 40⁰.
