Answer:

x = 128 degrees

Explanation:

So we know that a triangle's interior angles should add up to 180 degrees.

We also know that when a triangle has that little square in a corner, that corner is equal to 90 degrees.

With these clues, we can figure out that the last interior angle is equal to:

180 - (38+90) = 52, however this isn't the answer we are looking for.

We also know that a straight line is 180 degrees. Therefore, to find the exterior angle we just subtract the interior angle from 180 degrees:

180 - 52 = 128

x = 128
