Answer:

m∠a + 150°=180°

m∠a = 30°

m∠b + 30° + 60° =180°

m∠b = 90°

Answer:

Part a)
m\angle a=30^o (see the explanation)

Part b)
m\angle b=90^o (see the explanation)

Explanation:

Part a) Find the measurement of angle a

we know that


m\angle a+150^o=180^o ---> by supplementary angles (form a linear pair)


m\angle a=180^o-150^o


m\angle a=30^o

Part b) Find the measurement of angle b

we know that

The sum of the interior angles in any triangle must be equal to 180 degrees

In this problem


m\angle b+m\angle a+60^o=180^o

substitute the given values


m\angle b+30^o+60^o=180^o


m\angle b=180^o-90^o


m\angle b=90^o
