Quick comprehension check

Two angles form a larger angle. One angle measures 25°. The larger angle measures 68°. What is the measure of the other angle? A student cut a piece of paper into two angles. One angle measures 42° and the other angle measures 57°. If they put the two angles together, what is the measure of the total angle they create?
