Answer:

x = 64

Explanation:

The two base angles in the isosceles obtuse triangle are equal, so are both 29°. The sum of these angles is 58°, which is the measure of the external acute angle at the upper left of the acute triangle.

The two base angles of the acute isosceles triangle are equal, so are both 58°. The angle marked x° has a measure that makes the sum of angles in that triangle be 180°.

x° = 180° -2(58°)

x° = 64°
