Answer: 220

=======================================================

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the angle measure of that dark area. That angle x must add to the other angles 25, 90, and 25 to get a full 360 degree rotation.

So,

x+25+90+25 = 360

x+140 = 360

x = 360-140

x = 220

The dark area angle is 220 degrees

This is known as a reflex angle due to it being larger than 180 degrees, but it's less than 360 degrees. In symbolic terms, any reflex angle is one such that 180 < x < 360.
