Question

Solve for the given variable

Answer 1

k = 30

Explanation:

The exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the 2 opposite interior angles.

120° is an exterior angle of the triangle, thus

k + 90 = 120 ( subtract 90 from both sides )

k = 30

Answer 2

30

Explanation:

Well we know the first angle is 90 degrees, which means we have 90 degrees left to work with. Then, the top angle would be 60 degrees, because there is a straight line (which of course has to equal 180), so 180-120 = 60. Now, 90-60=30!
