find the value of a in this fig.

Step-by-step explanation:
[tex]1.a + 27 = 90 \: \: (complementary \: angles = 90) \\ a = 90 - 27 \\ a = 63degrees \\ 2. \: x + 101 + 109 + 90= 360 \: (revolution \: angles = 360) \\ x = 360 - (101) - (109) - (90) \\ x = 60degrees \\ 3. \: a + 85 = 180 \: (angles \: on \: str \: line = 180) \\ a = 180 - 85 \\ a = 95degrees \\ b = 85 \: (vertically \: opp \: angle) \\ c = 95 \: (vertically \: opp \: angle)[/tex]
