Answer:

we now that all the angles of a triangle equal 180 so we just have to add up angle a and b to get x or angle c

but angle b is the outside angle and we can find this angle by subtracting 100 by 180 to get 80 so

80+68= 148 so

180-148=32

so the answer is

D: 32 degrees

Hope This Helps!!!

Answer:

D.

Explanation:

According to the Exterior Angle Theorem, the exterior angle is equal to the sum of the interior angles opposite from the exterior angle. In other words:


68+x=100

Solve for x. Therefore:


m\angle x=32^\circ

Our answer is D.
