LMNO is a rectangle, and mMON = 30
so
mONL = 30

x = 180 - 2(30)
x = 180 - 60
x = 120

Answer is E. 120

Answer:

The answer is the option E


120\°

Explanation:

we know that

If LMNO is a rectangle

then

The triangle OCN is an isosceles triangle----> (C is the center of the rectangle)

so


m<MON=m<LNO=30\° ------> the base's angles of the isosceles triangle


m<OCN=x\° -----> by vertical angles

Remember that the sum of the internal angles of a triangle must be equal to
180\°

therefore


2*30\°+x\°=180\°

solve for x


x=180\°-2*30\°=120\°
