Answer and Step-by-step explanation:
We are given a triangle, a quadrilateral inside a triangle. and exterior angles of the triangle at linear bisectors.
We can figure out the interior angles of the shape to find a by using the linear bisector theorem, in which a line separated by another line will have two angles that will add to 180 degrees.
For the bisected line with the angle of 60 degrees, the other angle will have to equal 120. We know this by taking 60 from 180.
The perpendicularly bisected line will always have 90 degrees for the angles, so the interior angle will be 90 degrees.
For the bisected line with the angle of 80 degrees, the other angle will have to equal 100. We know this by taking 80 from 180.
Now, we have angles to determine a.
Quadrilaterals consist of 4 interior angles, which, when added together, equals 360 degrees.
360 - 90 - 100 - 120 = a
260 - 90 - 120 = a
140 - 90 = 50 = a
So, angle a is equal to 50 degrees.
