Answer:

40 degrees

Explanation:

because angle b and angle a are vertical angles they are congruent and if they add up to 280 you just have to divide that by 2 to get the value of one of the angles

280/2=140

because angle c and angle b are supplementary they are going to add up to equal 180

180-140=40 so c=40
