Its the first one x is greater than 38 because by looking at the angle it looks bigger than 90 degrees so by that you cancel 39 and 77 and leaves you 38 or 103 103 could be an option but we don't know that for sure we know for sure it's more than 38 so the first choice is correct





And btw is it talking about the right side of the angle or left im confused like is the x the dot where n is if it is then the answer is 38

Answer: x > 38

In this case, x is a exterior angle of the triangle. The exterior angle of a triangle is the sum of the nonadjacent interior angles of the triangle.

Therefore:
x = 38 + 39
x = 77

77 > 38
x > 38
