Step 1: We have two triangles with the following information:

• Upper Triangle has two known angles: 29 and 52 degrees

,

• Lower Triangle has one known angle: 33 degrees and two unknown: x and the third angle

Step 2: Let's find the third angle of the upper triangle, as folllows:

Third angle = 180 - 29 - 52

Third angle = 99

Step 3: Now we can see that the angle we just found on Step 2 is a congruent angle with the third angle from the lower triangle, which means they are equal.

Therefore, we know two angles of the lower triangle:

99 and 33

With these measurements, we can calculate x, as follows:

x = 180 - 99 - 33

x = 180 - 132

x = You can calculate the difference now
