Question

Find the measure of angle x in the figure below:

A:35
B:48
C:69
D:78

Answer 1

the answer is b X=48 degrees

Answer 2

The best way to solve for x is to first solve for y and then subtract values. The top of "line" of the 3 angles togethers add up to 180 degrees. So from this, you can deduct this equation into
`52+59+y=180`. To solve for y, subtract
`52` and
`59` from the left hand side and rights hand side of the equation. now you know the value is
`y=180-52-59=69`. So the value of y is 69 degrees.
Now you know two angles of a triangle and the sum of the angles in a triangle is 180 degrees. So the equation is
`x+69+63=180`. To solve for x, subtract
`69+63` from both sides.
`x=180-69-63=48`. So you know that
`x=48` degrees.
