Question

Please solve for X. The smallest triangle is a 90 degree with X in the corner across. Then 40. Then 30. Please PLEASE solve for X and show how. DO NOT ANSWER WITH SOMETHING THAT IS NOT AN ANSWER!!

Answer 1

The measure of the angle x which is the smallest angle is 20 degrees

To determine the value of x, we have to know the following;

• Angles on a straight line is 180 degrees
• Alternating angles are equal
• Corresponding angles are equal

Then, we have that;

90 + x + 40 + 30 = 180

Now, we have to collect the like terms, we get;

x = 180 - 160

Subtract the values, we get;

x = 20 degrees
