Answer:
x = 42.5
Explanation:
A triangle inscribed inside of a circle using the diameter of the circle as it's hypotenuse is a right triangle ( a 90 degree triangle ) where the angle opposite of the hypotenuse is the 90 degree angle ( angle C )
Hence angle C = 90
If angle C = 2x + 5
Then 2x + 5 = 90
Notice that we just created an equation that we can use to solve for x
We now solve for x algebraically
2x + 5 = 90
Step 1 subtract 5 from both sides
2x + 5 - 5 = 90 - 5
Outcome: 2x = 85
Step 2 divide both sides by 2
2x/2 = 85/2
Outcome: x = 42.5
