Question

Find the value of x. The diagram is not to scale.

Answer 1

x = 33

Explanation:

There are 180 degrees in a triangle.

There are also 180 degrees in a straight line.

180 - 105 = 75.

Thus, 75+72+x=180.

x=33

Answer 2

x=33

Explanation:

Step one :

From the screen shot

The sum of angles on a straight line is 180° hence 180°-105°=75°

The unknown angle is 75°

Step two :

To find the angle x° the sum of angles in a triangle is 180°

Therefore

x°+72°+75°=180°

x+147=180

x=180-147

x=33°
