Question

What is x and what converse is used to find x

Answer 1

4

Explanation:

the third angle of the inner triangle is defined by using the rule that the sum of all angles in a triangle must be 180 degrees. let's call this angle a

180 = 48 + 16x + a

132 - 16x = a

and then we know that both angles, 28x and a together must also be 180, as they are complementing each other to cover the whole top of the base line.

so,

28x + 132 - 16x = 180

12x = 48

x = 4
