Answer:
x=115\°

Explanation:

Observe in the figure that the angle "x" is formed by two intersecting chords in the circle.

By definition:


Angle\ formed\ by\ two\ intersecting\ Chords=(1)/(2)(Sum\ of\ Intercepted\ Arcs)

In this case you know that the Intercepted Arcs are:


AD=140\°\\BC=90\°

Then, you know that:


x=(1)/(2)(AD+BC)

Finally, substituting values into the formula and evaluating, you get that the measure of the angle "x" is:


x=(1)/(2)(140\°+90\°)\\\\x=(1)/(2)(230\°)\\\\x=115\°
