Answer: 30 (choice B)

===================================================

Step-by-step explanation:

Ignore lines VS and SU. They're unnecessary clutter.

Triangle VRT is a right triangle with angles T = x, R = 60, V = 90

For any triangle, the angles must add to 180

T+R+V = 180

x+60+90 = 180

x+150 = 180

x = 180-150

x = 30

Or you could note that R+T = 90 Solves to T = 30 since triangle VRT is a right triangle. The rule with any right triangle is that the acute angles are always complementary (aka they add to 90 degrees).

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

Reason...sum of angles in a triangle is equal to 180⁰

R+V+T=180⁰

60⁰+90⁰+x⁰=180⁰

150⁰+x⁰=180⁰

x⁰=180⁰-150⁰

:. x⁰=30⁰
