Answer: t=20°

Step-by-step explanation:

1. By definition, the sum of the interior angles is 180 degrees.

2. Keeping the information above on mind, you can write the following expression:

$90+50+2t=180$

3. Now, you must solve for $t$ as following:

$140+2t=180\\2t=180-140\\2t=40\\t=\frac{40}{2}\\t=20$

4. Therefore, the value of $t$ is 20°
