Answer:

70

Explanation:

The 94 is on the outside, and because the lines are parallel, lines a and b, that means that the inside adjacent to the 94 is the same. And the angle directly across from the 16° is the opposite, so those are equal as well. So two of your angles are 16° and 94°. The total of the angles for any triangle is 180°.

Subtract 94 from 180

180-94=86

Subtract 16 from 86

86-16= 70

So your answer is 70.
