1. The problem is to find the measure of angle 1 ($m\angle 1$) in a triangle where the other two angles are given as 36° and 96°.
2. Recall the Triangle Angle Sum Theorem: The sum of the interior angles of a triangle is always 180°.
3. Using the theorem, we write the equation:
$$m\angle 1 + 36 + 96 = 180$$
4. Combine the known angles:
$$m\angle 1 + 132 = 180$$
5. Subtract 132 from both sides to isolate $m\angle 1$:
$$m\angle 1 = 180 - 132$$
6. Calculate the difference:
$$m\angle 1 = 48$$
7. Therefore, the measure of angle 1 is 48°.
