Question

Find x (in degrees) in the following quadrilateral.

Answer 1

x = 110°

Explanation:

The sum of the interior angles in a quadrilateral is 360°. This means:

x + x + x - 30 + 1/2x + 5 = 360° - we can simplify this

3 1/2x - 25 = 360° - now add 25 to both sides

3 1/2x = 385 - finally divide both sides by 3 1/2

x = 385 ÷ 3.5 = 110

x = 110°

Hope this helps!
