Find the value of \(a^{\circ}\) in the diagram below. (2 marks)
--- 5 WORK AREA LINES (style=lined) ---
\(60^{\circ}\)
\(\angle BCD\ \text{(reflex)} = 360-130=230^{\circ}\)
\(\text{Since there are 360° in a quadrilateral:}\)
\(360\) | \(=a+40+230+30\) | |
\(360\) | \(=a+300\) | |
\(a^{\circ}\) | \(=360-300\) | |
\(=60^{\circ}\) |

`720^@`
`text(Reflex angle) = 360-90 = 270^@`
`:.\ text(Sum of interior angles)`
`= (270 xx 2) + (30 xx 2) + (60 xx 2)`
`= 720^@`
