Find the measure of the missing angle

a= 28 degree, b=97degree I 'm not sure how to go about in finding the missing angle. Could you please help?

Are you looking for a complementary or supplementary angle?

I believe suplementary

I should have asked if this is a triangle. Apparently it is.

180 - (28 + 97) = ?

To find the measure of the missing angle, we need to use the fact that the sum of the angles in a triangle is always 180 degrees.

Let's label the missing angle as "x".

In this case, we have two given angles: angle a = 28 degrees and angle b = 97 degrees.

To find the missing angle x, we can use the equation:

x + a + b = 180

Substituting the given values:

x + 28 + 97 = 180

Combine like terms:

x + 125 = 180

Next, we solve for x by subtracting 125 from both sides of the equation:

x = 180 - 125

x = 55

Therefore, the measure of the missing angle is 55 degrees.
