Measure of the angles are 50, 130, 50 & 130

Explanation:

As can be seen from the diagram, adjacent angles are supplementary and opposite angles are equal.

Let one angle be A

Other adjacent angle b will be 180-a

Given b = 2a + 30. Eqn (1)

As B = 180 - A,

Substituting value of b in Eqn (1) we get,

#2A + 30 = 180 - A#

#:. 3a = 180 - 30 = 150#

#A = 50, B = 180 - A = 180 - 50 = 130#

Measure of the four angles are
#50, 130, 50, 130#
