Problem

In right triangle , angle measures 60 degrees and angle measures 30 degrees. When drawn, the angle bisectors of angles and intersect at a point . What is the measure of obtuse angle ?

problem
Solution
Since bisects , we know that the measure of is degrees. Similarly, since bisects , we know that the measure of is degrees. Finally, since the sum of the measures of the angles of a triangle always equals degrees, we know that the sum of the measures of , , and equals degrees. Thus, the measure of degrees.
Final answer
135
