Missing right angle 3

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

The angles of a triangle always add to 180 degrees.

That means that in this case,

since we know that the right angle is 90 degrees.

There are a few ways we can move on from here, but one is to simplify this equation:

now subtract 145
