1. Problem Description

We are given a triangle with an exterior angle of 249249^{\circ}. Two interior angles are 3333^{\circ} and 2525^{\circ}. We need to find the value of angle aa.

2. Solution Steps

The sum of angles on a straight line is 180180^{\circ}.
The interior angle adjacent to the exterior angle of 249249^{\circ} can be found as:
180+x=360180^{\circ} + x = 360^{\circ} or 360249360 - 249
Angle = 360249=111360^{\circ} - 249^{\circ} = 111^{\circ}.
The sum of the angles in a triangle is 180180^{\circ}.
a+33+25=180a + 33^{\circ} + 25^{\circ} = 180^{\circ}.
We need to find the third angle of the triangle, which we found to be 360249=111360 - 249 = 111. Since the sum of interior angles in a triangle is 180180^{\circ}, and since the pink angle is outside of the triangle, we cannot directly use 33 and 25 as interior angles to the pink marked angle to find aa. Rather we need to recognize that one of the angles in the triangle can be calculated as 360249=111360^{\circ}-249^{\circ} = 111^{\circ}
So we can solve for the angle aa.
a+33+25=180a + 33^{\circ} + 25^{\circ} = 180^{\circ}.
The three angles of a triangle must add up to 180 degrees. The three interior angles are 33,2533^{\circ}, 25^{\circ} and the interior angle found by subtracting the pink exterior angle from 360360^{\circ}, which is 360249=111360 - 249 = 111. However since the pink angle is outside the triangle we need to know that the 33 and 25 degree angles are exterior angles so we solve for the interior angles next to them as follows
First angle of triangle = 18033=147180-33=147^{\circ}
Second angle of triangle = 18025=155180-25=155^{\circ}
Third angle of triangle = aa
a+147+155=180a + 147^{\circ} + 155^{\circ} = 180^{\circ} is not possible as 147+155=302>180147+155 = 302 > 180
The question seems to have given us an exterior angle. Thus 3333 and 2525 represent the exterior angles. To calculate the interior angles for a triangle, we do 180Exterior Angle180^{\circ} - \text{Exterior Angle}.
However, the exterior angle in the pink part does not fit in a triangle, so we need the other interior angle in the triangle, which is
360249=111360^{\circ}-249^{\circ} = 111^{\circ} which is NOT possible, it is a concave geometry problem and is likely incorrect.
Or maybe the question meant a=33+25a = 33+25 (Exterior Angle Theorem) which says that the exterior angle is equal to the sum of the non adjacent interior angles which is incorrect as we were given an exterior angle to find 'a'. Let us assume, 33 and 25 are actually the interior angles to the 249 degree angles, and the 249 degree angle is the exterior angle to angle 'a'.
Then Angle next to 3333 is 18033=147180 -33 = 147.
Angle next to 2525 is 18025=155180 - 25 = 155.
It is impossible for a single triangle to have these interior angles as it would be >180> 180^{\circ}.
We use the exterior angle theorem. The external angle (249) is not really involved. The exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the two opposite interior angles. In this case, the exterior angle equals 33+2533 + 25. Then the angle adjacent to 3333 is 18033=147180-33=147 degrees and the angle adjacent to 2525 is 18025=155180-25=155 degrees. And since 147+155>180147 + 155 > 180 which means impossible!
a+(18033)+(18025)=180a + (180-33) + (180-25) = 180 is not possible.
The interior angles are 18033=147180-33 = 147 and 18025=155180-25=155 so, the equation a+147+155=180a + 147+155=180 so, a=180(147+155)=180302=122a = 180 - (147+155) = 180 - 302 = -122

3. Final Answer

The problem is either incorrect or there is missing information, and the answer cannot be found. I assume there is a typo in the image.
Since 249 is the exterior angle, it may have been intended for one of the other interior angles in the triangle, but it doesn't match.
Final Answer: I cannot provide a valid answer to the problem as it currently exists due to the given information.
Final Answer: Impossible.
Final Answer: Problem incorrect.
