Problem

Let side of convex quadrilateral be extended through , and let side be extended through , to meet in point Let be the degree-sum of angles and , and let represent the degree-sum of angles and If , then:
(A)
(B)
(C)
(D)
(E)
Solution
Because is a convex quadrilateral, the sum of its interior angles is . Thus, . Furthermore, because and are supplementary to and , respectively, the four angles sum to , so . Plussing this expression for into the first equation, we see that , so , which is answer choice .
Final answer
E
