Find the measure of angle x in the figure below:

A triangle is shown. At the top vertex of the triangle is a horizontal line aligned to the base of the triangle. The angle formed between the horizontal line and the left edge of the triangle is shown as 52 degrees, the angle formed between the horizontal line and the right edge of the triangle is shown as 59 degrees. The angle at the top vertex of the triangle is labeled as y, and the interior angle on the right is labeled as 63 degrees. The interior angle on the left is labeled as x.

A))35°

B))48°

C))69°

D))78°

B) 48 degrees

first add 52 and 59 then subtract from 180 to get angle y (which is 69)


then since all triangles haves all 3 interior angles add to 180 degrees, add 69 and 63 (which is 132) and subtract from 180 to get the missing angle of x (which is 48 degrees)
