Answer:

160°

Explanation:

Kite

The central angle AOB (marked x) and the exterior angle ACB are supplementary. This means x is ...

x = 180° -20° = 160°

The value of x is 160°.

Additional comment

The sum of all angles in the kite shape is 360°. The angles at A and B are both 90°, leaving 180° for the total of the angles at O and C.
