Question

Find the value of X in the triangle shown below

Answer 1

x=33

Explanation:

The angles in a triangle must add to 180 degrees.

Therefore,

x+114+33=180

Combine like terms by adding 114 and 33

x+147=180

Since we want to solve for x, we need to get x by itself. Since 147 is being added to x, subtract 147 from both sides. This will cancel out the 147 and leave x by itself.

x+147-147=180-147

x=33

So, x is equal to 33 degrees

Answer 2

x=33°

Explanation:

To solve this, we first must remember that the sum of the interior angles of a triangle must equal 180°.

Since we already know 2 angles, we can simply subtract those from 180° to find our third angle:

180-114-33= 33°.
