Quadrilateral angles sum to 360 degrees
Using the fact that the four angles of a quadrilateral add up to , find the measure of angle in the figure.
[Figure] A quadrilateral rests at an angle with one vertex sitting on a straight line. Of its four interior angles, the top angle is , the left angle is , the right angle is , and the bottom vertex's interior angle is labeled . That bottom vertex lies on the straight line, and along the line — from left to right — are a angle, the quadrilateral's interior angle , and angle , which together form the straight angle .
