What is the value of angle A in triangle ABC?
Statement 1: Angle B is 90 degrees.
Statement 2: Angle C is 45 degrees.
A. If you can answer the question using only the information in statement 1
B. If you can answer the question using only the information in statement 2
C. If you can answer the question but need the information in both statements 1 and 2
D. If you cannot answer the question even after using the information in both statements
Answer: (C)
Solution: The sum of angles in triangle ABC: Angle A + Angle B + Angle C = 180 degrees
Substitute the given values: Angle A + 90 degrees + 45 degrees = 180 degrees
Angle A = 45 degrees.
Since we can determine the value of angle A (45 degrees) by combining both statements, the correct answer is C.
