All the interior angles of all equilateral triangles 
have measure 60°

The angle in the quarter circle is 90°.

 
 
So the sum of the measures of all the marked angles
is 360°, so we have the equation:

     60° + 90° + 60° + x° = 360°

                210° + x° = 360°
 
                       x° = 150°
