Question

What is the value of x drawing not to scale

Answer 1

 angle x would end up being equal to 71 degrees.

Answer 2

The value of x is 71°.

Explanation:

The given triangle has to equal sides, this means that the triangle isosceles, from which we can deduct from the theorem of isosceles triangles that the angles formed by these two equal sides are congruent.

Also, we know that the sum of all internal angles of a triangle must be 180°. So

`x\° + x\° + 38\° =180\°\\2x\°=180\°-38\°\\x\°=(142\°)/(2)\\x\°=71\°`

Therefore, the value of x is 71°.
