Question

Use the diagram shown to find x.

Answer 1

$x+68+42=180\\ x=70$

Answer 2

X would equal 70°.

For every triangle, all interior angles add up to 180°. This means that we can add together 42 and 68 to get 110°. Because the sum of all interior angles in a triangle must be 180°, we subtract 110 from 180 to see how much more we need, which gets us 70°.

I hope this helps!
