Answer:

b) 5.8

Explanation:

Explanation

Given diagram the angles are (9 x + 6)°, (10 x + 7)°, (10 x - 1)°

we know that the sum of the angles of the triangle is equal to 180°

∠A +∠B +∠C = 180°

(9 x + 6)°+(10 x + 7)°+ (10 x - 1)° = 180°

On simplification , we get

29 x + 12 = 180

29 x = 180 -12

29 x = 168

x = 5.79 ≅ 5.8
