In a perfect world the corner should be a true 90 degrees so you would cut a 45 degree miter on the end of each mating piece.
It the real world things are seldom a true 90 degree corner. You can get an angle finder that will measure the exact angle of the corner, then each miter is exactly 1/2 of the angle.
In order to cut moldings that finite one needs an adjustable miter box or a powered miter saw.
The second option it to cut the 45 degree angles with a simple miter box, Use a sandpaper block to fit the pieces as best you can and fill the gap with wood filler or caulking.
