Question

This is the question I meant to post:

Find the value of x, please put an explanation

Answer 1

x=36

Explanation:

you would take 72 divided by 2 to get your answer

Answer 2

Explanation:

Ok, let's see how much I can do

So I don't know how to label the angles, but let's just say there are 2 angles at point B. One is already given. 72. Since a line is 180. We can find the other angle by subtraction: 180 - 72 = 108

And we can also tell that both angles at point D are equal as they are both represented by 2x.

Now by the looks of it, Line AC and DE are parallel so angle A and both the angles at point D are equal to each other. So triangle ABD is at least an isosceles triangle. Now because we know it's an isosceles triangle, we can now find the measure of triangle ABD.

72 + 2x + 2x = 180

72 + 4x = 180

4x = 108

x = 27
