Question

How do i do this, my son is struggling and he needs help

Answer 1

x = 32°

Explanation:

The triangle is 58°. I know this because the question stated that "a" is 302. A full circle is 360. So you can subtract 360 - 302 = 58. There is a small corner of a square in the other side of the triangle. With that we know that, that side has to be 90°. A triangle is 180° total. So we can subtract:

180 - 90 - 58 = 32

Therefore, x = 32°

Answer 2

32

Explanation:

angle a is the outside angle. It creates a circle that will always equal 360 degrees. Since the outside angle is 302, the inside angle must be 58 degrees (360-302). The top square angle will be 90 degrees (a square angle is always 90 degrees). Since the angles in a triangle always add up to 180 degrees, we need to add 58 and 90, and then subtract it from 180, which equals 32. So, angle x equals 32.
