Answer:

110 degrees

Explanation:

Ok so no matter what the shape is, the exterior angles always have to add up to 360 degrees. Then, you can make the equation:

140 + 110 + x = 360

250 + x = 360

x = 110 degrees

Here's another way you can do it:

To do this, you can start by noticing that the top angle would be 40 degrees, because there's a straight line with 140 degrees and that angle, so you can do 180 - 140 = 40 degrees.

Then, the angle towards the bottom right would be 70 degrees using the same strategy:

180 - 110 = 70 degrees

The interior angles of a triangle always have to add up to 180 degrees, so you can do 180 - 40 - 70 = 70 to find the third interior angle of the triangle.

The last step is to do 180 - 70 = 110 to find the measure of the exterior angle at that point.
