1. Problem Description

We need to find the value of angle kk in the given figure. The figure consists of a quadrilateral. Two sides of the quadrilateral are equal, forming an isosceles triangle. One angle of the quadrilateral is given as 150150^\circ, and there are two right angles (9090^\circ).

2. Solution Steps

First, let's find the interior angle adjacent to the 150150^\circ angle. Let this interior angle be xx. Since the angles around a point add up to 360360^\circ, we have
x+150=360x + 150^\circ = 360^\circ.
x=360150=21060=150x = 360^\circ - 150^\circ = 210^\circ - 60^\circ = 150^\circ.
Therefore, x=30x=30^\circ.
The quadrilateral has four interior angles. The sum of the interior angles of a quadrilateral is given by:
(n2)×180(n-2) \times 180^\circ, where nn is the number of sides. In this case, n=4n=4, so the sum of interior angles is (42)×180=2×180=360(4-2) \times 180^\circ = 2 \times 180^\circ = 360^\circ.
The angles in the quadrilateral are 9090^\circ, 9090^\circ, 3030^\circ, and angle kk and another angle in the triangle. Let the angle adjacent to angle kk in the isosceles triangle be kk. The other two angles are the same. Thus we can set up the following equation:
90+90+30+k+k=36090^\circ + 90^\circ + 30^\circ + k + k = 360^\circ.
The quadrilateral consists of a right angle, the 3030^{\circ} angle (adjacent to the 150150^\circ angle), another right angle, and the two angles in the triangle, each of which is kk. The sum of these angles must equal to 360 degrees.
We have an isosceles triangle where the two equal sides are marked. Therefore the two angles opposite the equal sides are also equal to k.
The sum of angles in a triangle is 180180^\circ, so
k+k+α=180k + k + \alpha = 180^\circ.
2k+α=1802k + \alpha = 180^\circ.
α=1802k\alpha = 180^\circ - 2k.
The sum of the interior angles of the quadrilateral is 360360^\circ, so
90+90+(360150)+(1802k)=36090^\circ + 90^\circ + (360^\circ - 150^\circ) + (180^\circ - 2k) = 360^\circ.
90+90+30+k+(90k+k)=36090^\circ + 90^\circ + 30^\circ + k + (90^\circ-k+k) = 360^\circ.
90+90+30+1802k=36090^\circ + 90^\circ + 30^\circ + 180^\circ - 2k = 360^\circ
But we know that the sum of the angles must be

0. So let the other angle in the triangle that isn't $k$ be called $a$.

We know that a+2k=180a+2k = 180, a=1802ka = 180 - 2k.
So, we have 90+90+30+(1802k)=36090 + 90 + 30 + (180-2k) = 360,
3902k=360390-2k = 360,
30=2k30 = 2k,
k=15k = 15.

3. Final Answer

15
The value of angle kk is 15 degrees.
Final Answer: The final answer is 15\boxed{15}
