Answer: 107 degrees.

Explanation:

A quadrilateral is defined as a 2-dimensional closed shape which has four sides and four vertices.

By definition the interior angles of a quadrilateral add up 360 degrees.

We know that this quadrilateral has 2 right angles (which are angles that measure 90 degrees) and we know that the measure of the third angle is 73 degrees.

Let be "x" the measure of the fourth angle.

Then you can write this expression:


360\°=90\°+90\°+73\°+x

And finally solve for "x":


360\°=253\°+x


360\°-253\°=x


x=107\°
