Question

Find the value of x in the triangle shown below.
х
53°
2
97°

Answer 1

Given:

Consider the below figure attached with this question.

To find:

The value of x.

Solution:

Angle sum property of a triangle: According to this property, the sum of all interior angles of a triangle is 180 degrees.

Using the angle sum property of triangle, we get

`x^\circ+53^\circ+97^\circ=180^\circ`

`x^\circ+150^\circ=180^\circ`

`x^\circ=180^\circ-150^\circ`

`x^\circ=30^\circ`

Therefore, the value of x is 30 degrees.
