Question

What does X equal? geometry

Answer 1

Answer:

x= 77

Step-by-step explanation:

The angle at 122 degrees is a linear pair with the isosceles triangle, meaning it makes 180 degrees.

180-122= 58 degrees

Since it is an isosceles triangle, the two angles at the bottom are both 58 degrees.

Let's use this info to find the degree at the top.

58+58= 116

There are 180 degrees in a triangle, so subtract 116 degrees we have so far to find the last angle.

180-116= 64 degrees

And since the angle at the top makes 90 degrees, we can subtract 64 degrees to find the smaller angle to the right of the 64 degree angle.

90-64= 26 degrees

And since a triangle has a total of 180 degrees, subtract the 26 degrees from 180.

180-26= 154 degrees.

And since it is an isosceles triangle, divide the remaining 154 degrees by 2 because they are both equal.

154/2= 77 degrees.

Your answer is 77 degrees.
