We are given a triangle that is split into two right angled triangles

The source triangle has been identified to be an equilateral triangle with all sides and angles equal.

Since all the internal angles in an equilateral triangle equals 180 degrees, we then know that:

60 + 60 + x + x = 180 degrees

Adding up like terms give:

120 + 2x = 180

Subtracting 120 from both sides gives:

2x = 180 - 120

2x = 60

Dividing both sides by 2 gives:

x = 30 degrees
