Can someone help

#

let's look at the little triangle below. because it has 3 equal angles, we can confirm that it's an equilateral triangle

#

every equilateral triangle has three 60º angles

#

so we already know that the green angle is 60º

#

we can also say that the angle above the equilateral triangle is 60º, as opposite angles always have the same measurement

#

now, we already have two angles of the big triangle. we can figure out the third one by calculating 180-90-60

#

summing the result with 101 and subtracting the sum out of 180, we get the needed angle hype

#

i hope that helps

Wait so we just 180-90-60 = 30 and that’s the answer?

#

you need to find the angle subtended by the right triangle at the upper line with 101 degrees

#

and as we know that angle on a straight line is 180
