Answer is 2a=120 and a=60
2a+2a+a+a=360
6a=360
a=60

2a
2(60)=120

The value of a in the polygon is 60°

Using the parameters given ;

  • sum of angles in the quadrilateral = 360°

The value of the four angles are ;

  • 2a , 2a, a , a

To solve , We take the sum of the interior values and equate to 360°

2a + 2a + a + a = 360

6a = 360

divide by 6 to isolate a

6a/6 = 360/6

a = 60

Hence, the value of a is 60°
