the sum of all exterior angles of all polygons is 360 degrees. hence A is greater than B.
OR
LET A,B,C be the interior angles of a,b,c respectively. Hence, a=180-A, b=180-B, c=180-C.
a+b+c= 180-A+180-B+180-C = 180-180-180- (A+B+C) = 540- 180 (USING ANGLE SUM PROPERTY)
a+b+c=360.

Let's add 3 extra angles
Image

Since angles in a triangle add to 180°, we can write: x + y + z = 180

Since angles on a line add to 180°, we can write the following:
a + z = 180
b + y = 180
c + x = 180
Add the 3 equations to get: (a + z) + (b + y) + (c + x) = 540
Rewrite as: a + b + c + x + y + z = 540

Since x + y + z = 180, we can write: a + b + c + 180 = 540
Subtract 180 from both sides to get: a + b + c = 360

We get:
QUANTITY A: 360
QUANTITY B: 180

Answer: A

Cheers,
Brent
