Math Problem Statement
Solution
Let's solve the given problem step by step.
Given Data:
- The outer angles of the triangle are:
Part (a): Calculate the value of .
Using the fact that the sum of the outer angles of any triangle is always , we can set up the equation:
Now, let's solve this equation for .
So, .
Part (b): What is the measure of ?
