Answer:

(b) 67.4°

Explanation:

You want the measure of angle 1 in the attached geometry.

Exterior angle

An exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the remote interior angles.

Application

In the bottom triangle, exterior angle 121.8° is equal to the sum of the remote interior angles 17.3° and ∠2. This means ...

∠2 = 121.8° -17.3° = 104.5°

In the top triangle, exterior angle ∠2 = 104.5° is equal to the sum of the remote interior angles 37.1° and ∠1. This means ...

∠1 = ∠2 -37.1° = 104.5° -37.1° = 67.4°

The measure of angle 1 is 67.4°.
