Find the measure of angle x in the figure below: A triangle is shown. At the top vertex of the triangle is a horizontal line ali
gned to the base of the triangle. The angle formed between the horizontal line and the left edge of the triangle is shown as 57 degrees, the angle formed between the horizontal line and the right edge of the triangle is shown as 61 degrees. The angle at the top vertex of the triangle is labeled as y, and the interior angle on the right is labeled as 67 degrees. The interior angle on the left is labeled as x. 35° 47° 51° 62°

Answer:
Option A.
Step-by-step explanation:
From the figure attached,
Given : ΔABC ~ ΔDEC
By the property of similarity,
"Corresponding sides of the similar triangles are proportional"
Since,
6x = 42(32 - x)
6x = 1344 - 42x
6x + 42x = 1344
48x = 1344
x =
x = 28 units
Therefore, Option (A). x = 28 units will be the answer.
