#117.5^@#

The sum of the angles in a triangle is #180# degrees.

So

#x+62.5=180#

#x=180-62.5#

#x=117.5#

The other angle is #117.5^@#.

#117.5^@#

The sum of all the interior
angles of of a triangle #=180^@#

Let the third angle be #x#.

#62.5^@ + x = 180^@#

#x = 180^@ - 62.5^@#

#x = 117.5^@#
