Answer:

Angle x is 34 degrees

Explanation:

The smaller triangle shown in the diagram is isosceles because two of its sides are equal (these sides are also radii of the circle). It has two 62 degree angles. Thus, the third angle is 180 degrees less twice 62 degrees, or 56 degrees.

The larger triangle is a right triangle with angles 90, 56 and 34 degrees. Thus, Angle x is 34 degrees.
