The measure of the angle x is equivalent to 40 degrees.

Angles in a triangle

The sum of angles in a triangle is 180 degrees. For the given angle, the sum of interior angle is equal to exterior to have:

x + y = 110

Since the triangle is isosceles, hence y = 70 degrees

In order to determine the value of 'x'

x + y + y = 180

x + 2y = 180

x + 2(70) = 180

x + 140 = 180

x = 40 degrees

Hence the measure of the angle x is equivalent to 40 degrees.
