Solution
\[\text{ Let } \left( x + y \right) \text{ be the sum of the remaining two angles .} \]
\[\text{ Since, the sum of all the angles of a quadrilateral is } 360°, \text{ we have } : \]
\[180° + \left( x + y \right)° = 360°\]
\[ \Rightarrow \left( x + y \right)° = 180° \]
\[ \therefore \text{ The sum of the remaining two angles is } 180° .\]
