Step-by-step solution

Remember that the sum of angles in a triangle is equal to 180.

Therefore, we will use the formula:

A+B+C=180 A+B+C=180

Let's input the known data:

100+α+90=180 100+\alpha+90=180

190+α=180 190+\alpha=180

α=180190 \alpha=180-190

We should note that it's not possible to get a negative result, and therefore there is no solution.
