Question

To many of you that have answered my questions on math problems and are wondering why I constantly ask them, it's because I have never had a strong point in math so I want to learn and get better at it step by step. So thank you to all of you that have been helping me through it!

In the picture below it asks this,
In A-frame picnic shelter at Lewis and Clark Historic park in Iowa is shown. What is the value of x?


So in a detailed form can anyone describe to me what the value of x is in this problem and how to find it? Thank you so much!
