Let's solve each of the problems (a), (b), and (c) step by step. These are all quadrilateral angle problems, where we need to find the unknown angle $ x $ using the
angle sum property of quadrilaterals.

🔷 Key Concept:
The sum of the interior angles in any
quadrilateral is:
$$
360^\circ
$$
We'll use this to find the missing angle $ x $ in each case.

a)
Given angles:
- $ 109^\circ $
- $ 96^\circ $
- $ 70^\circ $
- $ x $
Sum of angles = $ 360^\circ $
So:
$$
x = 360^\circ - (109^\circ + 96^\circ + 70^\circ)
$$
$$
x = 360^\circ - 275^\circ = 85^\circ
$$
✔ Answer for (a): $ x = 85^\circ $
---
b)
Given angles:
- $ 87^\circ $
- $ 94^\circ $
- $ 58^\circ $
- $ x $
Note: One angle is marked as $ 58^\circ $, but it's
outside the quadrilateral — actually, it's an
exterior angle adjacent to one of the interior angles.
Wait! Let's look carefully.
The $ 58^\circ $ is shown
outside, next to a vertex, so it's an
exterior angle. That means the
interior angle at that vertex is:
$$
180^\circ - 58^\circ = 122^\circ
$$
Now the four interior angles are:
- $ 87^\circ $
- $ 94^\circ $
- $ 122^\circ $
- $ x $
Sum:
$$
x = 360^\circ - (87^\circ + 94^\circ + 122^\circ) = 360^\circ - 303^\circ = 57^\circ
$$
✔ Answer for (b): $ x = 57^\circ $
---
c)
This one has
two exterior angles shown: $ 112^\circ $ and $ 122^\circ $. We need to convert them to
interior angles.
- The interior angle adjacent to $ 112^\circ $ is:
$$
180^\circ - 112^\circ = 68^\circ
$$
- The interior angle adjacent to $ 122^\circ $ is:
$$
180^\circ - 122^\circ = 58^\circ
$$
Also given: one interior angle is $ 132^\circ $, and we're solving for $ x $.
So the four interior angles are:
- $ 68^\circ $
- $ 132^\circ $
- $ 58^\circ $
- $ x $
Sum:
$$
x = 360^\circ - (68^\circ + 132^\circ + 58^\circ) = 360^\circ - 258^\circ = 102^\circ
$$
✔ Answer for (c): $ x = 102^\circ $
---
✔ Final Answers:
a) $ \boxed{85^\circ} $
b) $ \boxed{57^\circ} $
c) $ \boxed{102^\circ} $
