$$? = k\,\,\,\left[ {{\rm{degrees}}} \right]$$
$$\left( {5k\,\,{\rm{is}}\,\,{\rm{exterior}}\,\,{\rm{angle}}\,{\rm{for}}\,\,\Delta } \right)\,\,\,:\,\,\,\,5k = \left( {180 - 6k} \right) + \left( {k + k} \right)\,\,\,\,\,\, \Rightarrow \,\,\,\,\,\,9k = 180\,\,\,\,\,\,\, \Rightarrow \,\,\,\,\,\,\left( {\rm{B}} \right)$$


We follow the notations and rationale taught in the GMATH method.

Regards,
Fabio.
