Answer:

C = 18°

Explanation:

You want the value of angle C in the given figure.

Remote interior angles

The angle marked X in the attachment is an exterior angle to the left triangle. As such, its measure is the sum of the remote interior angles, marked 30° and 51°.

X = 30° +51° = 81°

Isosceles triangle

The angle marked X is one of two congruent base angles of the isosceles triangle on the right. That means ...

C = 180° -2X = 180° -2(81°)

C = 18°

The value of C is 18°.
