Answer:

60 degrees

Explanation:

The sum of interior angles of a hexagon is 720 degrees, so:


(180-m_1)+(180-m_2)+(180-m_3)+(180-m_4)+(180-m_5)+(180-m_6)=720

We know that angle 6 is 90 degrees, so:


(180-m_1)+(180-m_2)+(180-m_3)+(180-m_4)+(180-m_5)+90=720\\(180-m_1)+(180-m_2)+(180-m_3)+(180-m_4)+(180-m_5)=630\\900-m_1-m_2-m_3-m_4-m_5=630\\-m_1-m_2-m_3-m_4-m_5=-270\\m_1+m_2+m_3+m_4+m_5=270

We will rewrite the definition of angle 4:


m_4=m_3+10\\m_4-10=m_3

And we will start a substitution madness:


m_1+m_2+m_3+m_4+m_5=270\\m_3+m_3+m_3+m_4+m_5=270\\(m_4-10)+(m_4-10)+(m_4-10)+m_4+m_5=270\\3m_4-30+m_4+m_5=270\\3m_5-30+m_5+m_5=270

For the sake of simplicity, we will replace angle 5 as x:


3x-30+x+x=270\\5x-30=270\\5x=300\\x=60

And don't forget the degree sign!
