Question

Find the value of x
x°
66°
117°

Answer 1

x = 51 degrees

Explanation:

Keep in mind, the angles of a triangle add up to 180 degrees.

A flat line also equals 180 degrees.

First, we should find the lower left angle. We know that 117 plus that angle is going to be 180, since it's a flat line.

180 - 117 = 63

Now, we just need to find angle x. (All 3 of our angles should add up to 180, knowing this, we can put it in an equation)

63 + 66 + x = 180

Then, you solve for x:

(63+66) + x = 180

129 + x = 180

-129 -129

x = 51

Hope this helps :)
