Triangle angles sum to 180 degrees
Using the fact that the three angles of a triangle add up to , find the measure of angle in the figure.
[Figure] Triangle has a segment drawn from vertex down to point on the base , splitting it into two smaller triangles. At point , the angle on the left-triangle side () is , and at vertex the angle of the right-hand triangle () is . The angle to be found is at vertex .
