The missing variables of the angles are:

a) a = 86

b) a = 108

b = 88

c = 90

c) x = 120

d) x = 127.5

How to find the angles in a quadrilateral?

a) Sum of angles in a quadrilateral is 360 degrees. Thus:

a + a + 16 + 2a = 360

4a + 16 = 360

4a = 344

a = 86

b) The sum of angles on a straight line is 180 degrees and as such:

a + 72 = 180

a = 108

Similarly:

b + 92 = 180

b = 88

Sum of angles in a quadrilateral is 360 degrees. Thus:

108 + 88 + 74 + c = 360

c + 270 = 360

c = 90

c) This is a six sided polygon and the sum of angles internally is 720 degrees. Thus:

x + x + x + 120 + 150 + 90 = 720

3x + 360 = 720

x = 360/3

x = 120

d) This is an eight sided polygon and the sum of angles internally is 1080 degrees. Thus:

x + x + x + x + x + x + 60 + 2x = 1080

8x = 1080 - 60

8x = 1020

x = 1020/8

x = 127.5
