Question

How do i solve for x?

Answer 1

$\huge \bf༆ Answer ༄$

In the given figure, it's an Isosceles triangle having two equal sides RP and RQ, therefore their opposite angles will be equal as well, that is ~

Angle P = Angle Q = 29°

Now, by Angle sum property of a triangle, we get ~

• $\sf \: 8x - 14 + 29 + 29 = 180$

• $\sf \: 8x + 44 = 180$

• $\sf8x = 180 - 44$

• $\sf x = 136 \div 8$

• $\sf x = 17 \degree$

Therefore , value of x is 17°
