find the value of a in this picture below

Answer:
[tex]\boxed{a=40}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Angles on a straight line add up to 180 degrees.
[tex]a[/tex] is equivalent to all the other [tex]a[/tex].
Put up an equation and solve for [tex]a[/tex].
[tex]60+a+a+a=180[/tex]
[tex]3a+60=180[/tex]
[tex]3a=120[/tex]
[tex]a=40[/tex]
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
in the given figure;
a+60deg.+a+a=180 deg.
=> 3a+60=180
=> 3a=180-60
=> 3a=120
=> a=120/3
=40 deg.
