Answer:

x = 50°

Explanation:

The three angles of any triangle always add up to 180°. Here, we have a 40° and a right angle. Right angles are always 90°.

To find the value of x, find the sum of the two other angles.

90 + 40 = 130°

Since we know that all angles add to 180, we can conclude the following:

x + 130 = 180

x = 50°

Hope this helps
