Find the measure of angle A in the figure shown below
in this question, we first determine the interior angles that are supplementary to the angles; 1290 and 1380
if two angles are supplementary, their sum is 180
the first angle therefore can be obtained as:
1800 - 1290 = 510
the second angle can be obtained as:
1800-1380 = 420
we sum up the two interior angles.
420+510 = 930
the sum of all the interior angles of a triangle is 1800.
to obtain the value of angle A, we subtract 930 from 1800 to obtain;
1800 - 930 = 870
the value of the angle is 870
