(a) x + 90° = 180° (Linear pair) x = 90°
z + 30° = 180° (Linear pair)
z = 150°
y = 90° + 30° (Exterior angle theorem)
y = 120°
x + y + z = 90° + 120° + 150° = 360°
(b)
Sum of the measures of all interior angles of a quadrilateral is 360º. Therefore, in the given quadrilateral,
a + 60° + 80° + 120° = 360°
a + 260° = 360°
a = 100°
x + 120° = 180° (Linear pair)
x = 60°
y + 80° = 180° (Linear pair)
y = 100°
z + 60° = 180° (Linear pair)
z = 120°
w + 100° = 180° (Linear pair)
w = 80°
Sum of the measures of all interior angles = x + y + z + w
= 60° + 100° + 120° + 80°
= 360°
