Step-by-Step Solution

We know that the sum of the angles of a quadrilateral is 360°, that is:

A+B+C+D=360 A+B+C+D=360

We replace the known data within the following formula:

80+B+95+45=360 80+B+95+45=360

B+220=360 B+220=360

We move the integers to one side, making sure to keep the appropriate sign:

B=360220 B=360-220

B=140 B=140

Answer

140°
