Answer:90°
Right-angled triangle
Step-by-step explanation: Let the first angle be x and the second angle be y
Therefore the third angle will be (x+y) because according to the question the third angle is the sum of the first two angles
Now applying the angle sum property of a triangle, x+y+(x+y)=180°
x+x+y+y=180°
2x+2y=180°
2(x+y)=180°
x+y=180°/2
x+y=90°
Now we have got the sum of the first two angles of a triangle
As the third side is equal to the sum of first two angles, the third side will be equal to 90°
Therefore the triangle is a right-angled triangle as one angle is equal to 90°
