Question

A side of the triangle below has been extended to form an exterior angle of 61°. Find

the value of x.
xº
61°
46°

Answer 1

X=61 degrees

Explanation:

first you have to find the unlabeled corner of the triangle so you add

61+46=107 and since the bottom line is equal to 180 you subtract 107 180-107=73 which is the second corner of the triangle. Next you have to add 46 and 73 which equals to 119 and then you must subtract 119 from 180 which equals 61 degrees.

Hope this helps :)

Answer 2

X should equal 15° if my calculations are correct
