Question

Find x in the given figure
A: 60°
B: 55°
C: 125°
D: 35°

Answer 1

^^Unfortunately, the answer is not 125.


In order for the answer to be 125, it would have to be obtuse, more than 90 degrees.


As you can CLEARLY tell, that angle is not larger than 90. That’s just common knowledge.

Angle X is 55.


Please do not listen to the person above me.

Thank you, hope this helps.

Answer 2

C: 125

Explanation:

First of all we can see that one angle is 55 degrees. Due to the fact it is on a straight line, we can assume to angle directly on the left of it, 6 is 180-55. Because a straight line is 180 degrees and we already have 55 degrees filling it. So if we do that, we can see that angle number 6 is 125 degrees. Which if we use the corresponding angles theroem, we get that angle number 1 is also 125 degrees. And because number 1 and x are corresponding angles, x is also 125 degrees. There are many ways to do it but I did this way the fastest. I challenge you to try to find another way to solve it.

Hope this helps!
