Explanation:

so, we have a kite here.

a kite is a quadrilateral, that is totally symmetric along one of its diagonals.

the sum of all internal angles of a quadrilateral is always 360°.

remember, the sum of all angles around one point on one side of a line is always 180°.

a full circle airways represents 360°.

the inner angle at 140° is

180 - 140 = 40°

the inner angle at 250° is

360 - 250 = 110°

the inner angles at x and its opposing corner are equal (due to the symmetry) and are in sum with the other 2 inner angles 360°.

so, we have for the inner angles

360 = 110 + 40 + 2×xinner

210 = 2×xinner

the inner angle of x = 105°.

x (the outer angle of the inner angle of x) is

x = 360 - 105 = 255°
