Hi,
If you tend to forget the formulae, make sure you have a backup!!
Here, we know every figure with any number of sides will have exterior angle =360.
Divide 360 by the number of sides of the quadrilateral.
i.e. 360/6=60 degrees.
Now, a straight line has an angle of 180 degrees. Subtract this 180 with 60(Or whatever length you get after dividing)
180-60=120 degrees.
Hence x=120 degrees.
Hope this helps!
