We are given a diagram of a triangle. The exterior angle at one vertex is $249^\circ$. The interior angles at the other two vertices are $33^\circ$ and $25^\circ$. We are asked to find the size of the remaining interior angle, labeled $a$.

1. Problem Description

We are given a diagram of a triangle. The exterior angle at one vertex is $249^\circ$. The interior angles at the other two vertices are $33^\circ$ and $25^\circ$. We are asked to find the size of the remaining interior angle, labeled $a$.

2. Solution Steps

Let the interior angles of the triangle be $a$, $b$, and $c$. We are given that $b = 33^\circ$ and $c = 25^\circ$. We are also given that one of the exterior angles is $249^\circ$. This exterior angle is supplementary to its adjacent interior angle. Let's call the adjacent interior angle $x$. Then we have:

$x + 249^\circ = 360^\circ$

$x = 360^\circ - 249^\circ = 111^\circ$

So, one of the angles is $111^\circ$. But this angle is not $33^\circ$ or $25^\circ$, so $a=111^\circ$ is wrong.

However, the problem states that $b = 33^\circ$ and $c = 25^\circ$. The third interior angle corresponds to the exterior angle $249^\circ$. Since an exterior angle is equal to the sum of the two opposite interior angles, we have that

$249 = 33+25$ is false.

The third interior angle $x$ satisfies $x + 249^\circ = 360^\circ$, so $x = 360^\circ - 249^\circ = 111^\circ$.

In a triangle, the sum of the interior angles is $180^\circ$. Therefore,

$a + b + c = 180^\circ$

$a + 33^\circ + 25^\circ = 180^\circ$ is false.

Since one exterior angle is $249^\circ$, we have the interior angle $180^\circ - 249^\circ = x$ which is impossible because it leads to a negative value.

The exterior angle is $249^\circ$. So the adjacent interior angle is $360^\circ - 249^\circ = 111^\circ$.

Since angles in a triangle sum to $180^\circ$, $33 + 25 + a = 180$ is wrong.

Also, $a+b+c=180$. Also, one of $a,b,c$ equals $111$. Without loss of generality, let $a=111$.

Then $111+33+25 = 169$. Since we should have 180, then this is wrong.

However, $a + 33 + 25 = 180 \implies a = 180-33-25 = 180-58 = 122$. Then $122+111 \neq 180$.

The sum of angles in a triangle is 180 degrees.

However, an exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the two opposite interior angles. Let the angles of the triangle be $A$, $B$ and $C$. Suppose that the $249^\circ$ angle is the exterior angle at $C$. Then we have $249^\circ = A + B$, where $A$ and $B$ are the other two angles. But the angles given are $33^\circ$ and $25^\circ$. Thus, $A$ or $B$ is $33^\circ$ or $25^\circ$.

Instead, $360 - 249 = 111$. This is an interior angle. So, the angles are $33^\circ$, $25^\circ$ and $111^\circ$. The sum is $33+25+111= 169 \neq 180$.

Instead, $a+33+25=180$. So, $a = 180 - 58 = 122$. Then $a=122^\circ$. Then $249$ is adjacent to $C$, or $249$ is adjacent to
