Question

What is the value of x.

Answer 1

x = 98 degrees

Explanation:

All angles in a triangle add up to 180

Solve for the missing angle

53 + 45 = 98

180 - 98 = 82

The angle next to it forms a linear pair which also adds up to 180 degrees.

180 - 82 = 98

X = 98 degrees

Answer 2

98. Because 53+45=98 and then the sum of all the angles are 180 so 180-98=82 and then 180-82 to get X is 98.
