Answer:

m∠BXF = 140°

Explanation:

The symbol "<" is "greater than." The symbol "∠" is "angle." When used as "m∠", it refers to "the measure of angle ...".

Here, you're asked for the measure of angle BXF.

You can see that it is an obtuse angle, so will have a measure greater than 90°. The protractor has two scales: one measuring angles counterclockwise, and the other measuring angles clockwise. Ray XF is aligned with the 0 on the inner (counterclockwise) scale, so the angle measure is found where ray XB crosses that scale.

Ray XB crosses the inner scale of the protractor at 140, so ...

m∠BXF = 140°.

Answer: 140°

Explanation:

If you look at ∠BXF, you can see that F is at the base of the inner semi circle. Going left, you can see that it stops at 140. Now, we know that m∠BXF is 140°.
