The answer is 58 degrees



The area of a triangle always equals 180! Therefore if you subtract the given angles (85 and 37) from 180 it should give you the correct answer of 58!

Answer:

x = 58°

Explanation:

By interior angle sum postulate of a triangle, we have:

x = 180° - (85° + 37°)

x = 180° - 122°

x = 58°
