Given that one angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the other two.
Let the measure of angles be x, y, z.
Therefore, we can write above statement as x = y + z
x + y + z = 180°
Substituting the above value, we get
x + x = 180°
2x = 180°
x = 180/2
x = 90°
If one angle is 90° then the given triangle is a right angled triangle.

Answer:
∠A + ∠B + ∠C = 180
∠A = ∠B + ∠C (Given)
∠B + ∠C + ∠B + ∠C = 180
2 (∠B + ∠C) = 180
∠B + ∠C = 180/2 = 90
∠A + 90 = 180
∠A = 180-90 = 90
