Answer:

x = 117

Explanation:

Foremost, we know that the three angles of the triangle always add up to 180 degrees.

So, there are two sides which are 27 degrees and 36 degrees, we need to find the third one's degree.

Add 27 and 36 (27 + 36 = 63)

Two sides equal 63.

Then, subtract 180 - 63 = 117

So the third angle's measurement is 117 degrees. The answer is 117.

To check, add 117 + 27 + 36 = 180

Hope it helps.
