The sum of the interior angles of a quadrilateral is 360^(∘).
Equation: x+76+92+122=360
Solution: x=70
Consider the given diagram.
Add terms
LHS-290=RHS-290
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 outer number, we will use the outer scale.
We can see that the sides that conform angle x pass through 0 and 70 in our protractor. Therefore, the measure of the angle is 70^(∘), which is the same result we got from solving the equation.
