Question

Find the value of x?

Answer 1

Answer:

145°

Step-by-step explanation:

See the attachment.  Angles A, B, and C all belong to the triangle.

We know that A + B + C = 180° since the angles of a triangle always add to 180°.  We also know that when two lines meet that their sum is also equal to 180°.  So we can write for each interior angle the following:

                                     Result

<A = (180 - 88)                72

<B = (180-x)                  180-x

<C = (180 - 127)               53

The sum of angles A, B, and C is equal to 180:

 72 + (180-x) + 53 = 180

x = 145
