Question

I need help please. How do I find the value of x?

Answer 1

X = 58

The angle directly across from the 32 is also 32 degrees because it uses the same lines at the same angles. That's the Vertical Angles Theorem. The line straight across means that is 180 degrees, which is already split in half by the visible 90 degree angle (given by the box in the corner). Since all the angles are on the same side of the line, the 180 degree angle, they should add up to equal 180 degrees. Also, since 90 is half of 180, the 32 degree angle and the x angle should just add up to equal 90 degrees. So, 90 minus 32 equals 58.
