Let’s write the value of x in each of the following figure.

The given figure is as shown below:

Given ∠PRQ = 60°, ∠QPR = 50°, ∠QST = 30°
To find the exterior angle, i.e., ext ∠STR = x°
Now consider ΔPQR
We know in a triangle the sum of all three interior angles is equal to 180°.
So in this case,
∠PRQ + ∠PQR + ∠QPR = 180°.
Substituting the values, we get
60° + ∠PQR + 50° = 180°
⇒ ∠ PQR = 180° - 60° - 50°
⇒ ∠ PQR = 70°
Now PQS is a straight line, so
∠PQS = 180°
⇒ ∠PQR + ∠SQT = 180°
Now substituting the values, we get
⇒ 70° + ∠SQT = 180°
⇒ ∠SQT = 180° - 70°
⇒ ∠SQT = 110°
From figure consider ΔQST, so
In this triangle ∠STR is exterior angle,
And we know the measure of any exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the measures of its two interior opposite angles.
Hence ∠STR = ∠QST + ∠SQT
Substituting the values, we get
⇒∠STR = 30° + 110°
⇒∠STR = 140°
So the measurement of exterior angle in the given figure is 140°.
