Explanation
Correct answer: 156.
In the figure shown, the sum of the measures of angle and angle is . It's given that the measure of angle is . Therefore, the measure of angle is , or . The sum of the measures of the interior angles of a triangle is . In triangle , the measure of angle is and it's given that the measure of angle is . Thus, the measure of angle is , or . It's given that . Therefore, triangle is an isosceles triangle and the measure of is equal to the measure of angle . In triangle , the measure of angle is and the measure of angle is . Thus, the measure of angle is , or . The figure shows that the measure of angle is , so the value of is .
