To solve for x, you will need the angle measurements of the other two angles.

In this case, two of the sides of the triangle are equal, so the two unknown angles are equal.

The sum of the measurement of three angles = 180*.

80* + x* + x* = 180*

2x = 100

Once solved for x, your answer is: x = 50

Hope this helped.

The value of x would be 50 degrees because it is an acute angle, so hat would make sense. It would be 50 degrees because the internal degrees of a triangle add up to 180 so 180-80 equals 100, and since it is a isosceles triangle the two angles would be the same. 100 divided by 2 is 50
