Answer:

x°= 55°

Explanation:

First, find the degrees of the larger triangle.

Since every triangle equals 180° degrees, make an equation.

60°+90°+a°= 180°

Now, add the degrees together.

120°+a°= 180°

Then subtract from both sides.

120°+a°= 180°

-120 ° -120°

a°= 60°

Now that you know the sum of all the angles, subtract 25° from 60°(which is the measure of a).

60°-25°= 35°

Now that we have the measurement of the angle from the smaller triangle inside the larger one, make an equation.

35°+90°+x°= 180°

Then, add the degrees.

125°+x°= 180°

Subtract from both sides of the equation to get the answer for the variable.

125°+x°= 180°

-125° -125°

x°= 55°
