Explanation:

Hey there!!!

Here,

Triangle BCM and triangle ABC are 2 isosceles triangle.

Solving in triangle BCM.

Angle CBM = 31° { it is the base angle.}

Angle CBM + 31° + angle BCM = 180° { sum of interior angle of a triangle is 180°}.

31°+31°+ angle BCM = 180°

Angle BCM = 180° - 62°

Therefore the measure of angle BCM = 118°.

Again,

Solving in triangle ABC.

Angle BCM + angle ACB = 180° { being linear pair}.

118°+ angle ACB = 180°

Angle ACB = 180°-118°

Therefore the measure of angle ACB is 62°.

Angle ACB = angle BAC (Base of an isosceles triangle).

Therefore the measure of angle BAC = 62°.

Now, To find x,

Angle BAC + angle ACB + angle x = 180° (sun of interior angle of a triangle is 180°).

62°+62°+angle x = 180°

Therefore the measure of angle x is 56°.


hope \: it \: helps...
