Answer: 120

Explanation:

The interior angle of the 12-sided polygon is


(180(12-2))/(12)=150^(\circ)

So, if we consider the triangle with angle x, two of its angles are each
30^(\circ) since they are supplementary to the interior angle of the 12-sided polygon.

Therefore, as angles in a triangle add to 180 degrees, x=120.
