Answer: x = 67.5°

Explanation:

Is this for area or the magnitude of the angle? Ill solve for the angle. A circle has a total degree of 360. And they give us the right angle of 90°.

So the equation we have here is 90 + 3x + x = 360. Subtract 90 from both sides to get 3x + x = 270. Combine the like terms to get 4x = 270. Now just divide each side by 4 to get 67.5°

x = 67.5 \\ solution \\ x + 3x + 90 = 360(sum \: of \: complete \: turn) \\ or \: 4x + 90 = 360 \\ or \: 4x = 360 - 90 \\ or \: 4x = 270 \\ or \: x = (270)/(4) \\ x = 67.5 \\ hope \: it \: helps
