Answer:

angle x is 130 degrees

Explanation:

Recall that the addition of all central angles of the full circle should add up to
360^o. There are two angles that are explicitly given: MON =
30^o, and POR =
80^o. The other piece of information is that the arc from M to R is 4 times the length of the smaller arc From N to M, and therefore, their angles should keep the same proportion. That is: angle MOR should be 4 times angle MON, which in math terms will be: MOR = 4 x
30^o, then MOR =
120^o.

Now, since the addition of all angles should total
360^o, we can find what angle "x" measures:
30^o+80^o+120^o+x=360^o\\230^o+x=360^o\\x=360^o-230^o\\x=130^o
