Answer:

x = 61

Explanation:

This triangle is an isosceles triangle which means 2 sides are congruent. This also means the 2 angles across from the congruent sides are congruent. So, you would subtract 58 from 180 which equals 122. Then you would divide that in half, which gets you 61. (The angle 58 is the one across from the side that is not congruent to the others. That is why I used it)

Answer:

61

Explanation:

You can see that the sides are both 6. That means that this triangle is an isosceles triangle.

Therefore do this:

180-58=122

122/2= 61

So x= 61 Degrees

Hope This helps! :)
