To find the measurement of the third angle in the triangle, we need to know the property that the sum of the interior angles of a triangle is always 180 degrees.
Let's denote the measurement of the third angle as x.
Therefore, the sum of the three angles can be represented as:
x + 44 + 56 = 180
Adding the known angles, we get:
x + 100 = 180
Next, we can isolate x by subtracting 100 from both sides of the equation:
x = 180 - 100
Simplifying the right side, we find:
x = 80
Therefore, the measurement of the third angle in the triangle is 80 degrees.
