Recall that the sum of the interior angles in any triangle is always 180 degrees.
Since the triangle is a right triangle, one of its angles is 90 degrees.
Given that angle \( \angle 6 = 32^\circ \), use the angle sum property to find the sum of the other two angles \( \angle 4 \) and \( \angle 5 \).
Set up the equation: \( \angle 4 + \angle 5 + \angle 6 + 90^\circ = 180^\circ \).
Solve for \( \angle 4 + \angle 5 \) by subtracting \( 32^\circ \) and \( 90^\circ \) from 180 degrees: \( \angle 4 + \angle 5 = 180^\circ - 90^\circ - 32^\circ \).
