The sum of the interior angles of a quadrilateral is 360^(∘).
Equation: x+48+150+77=360
Solution: x=85
Consider the given diagram.
Add terms
LHS-275=RHS-275
Subtract term
Next, we need to determine whether the inner or outer measuring scale should be used. Since the measuring scale that has 0 on the side of the quadrilateral is the inner number we, will use the inner scale.
We can see that the sides that conform angle x pass through 0 and 85 in our protractor. Therefore, the measure of the angle is 85^(∘), which is the same result we got from solving the equation.
