x = 83°
Solution:
The reference image to the answer is given below.
Sum of the adjacent angles in a straight line = 180°
⇒ ∠1 + ∠2 + ∠3 = 180° (Refer image)
⇒ 56° + ∠2 + 41° = 180°
⇒ 56° + 41° + ∠2 = 180°
⇒ 97° + ∠2 = 180°
⇒ ∠2 = 180° – 97°
⇒ ∠2 = 83°
In the given image ∠5 and ∠2 are vertically opposite angles.
<u>Vertical angle theorem:</u>
Vertically opposite angles are equal.
⇒ ∠5 = ∠2
⇒ x = ∠2
⇒ x = 83°
Hence the measure of angle x is 83°.
