The diagram shows a convex polygon.

What is the value of

key idea

The sum of the interior angle measures of a triangle is 180°.

solution

First, find the sum of the interior angle measures of the convex polygon. The polygon is a triangle, so the sum of the interior angle measures is 180°.

Next, look at the interior angle measures in the triangle.

Set the sum of the interior angle measures of the triangle equal to 180°. Solve for

180°

Combine like terms

180°

Combine like terms

Divide both sides by 30

6°

Divide both sides by 30

So,

6°
