Answer:

x = 60°

Explanation:

The sum of the 3 angles in a triangle = 180°

Subtract the sum of the given angles from 180 for x

x = 180° - (87 + 33)° = 180° - 120° = 60°

\small{\purple {\sf \underline{To \: find\:y:}}}

________________________________

step 1:


y = 33</strong><strong>⁰</strong><strong> + 87</strong><strong>⁰</strong><strong>

reason:

exterior angle is =sum of interior angles

________________________________

step 2:


y = 120</strong><strong>⁰</strong><strong>✓</strong><strong>

after adding 33 and 87 we get 120

\small{\purple {\sf \underline{Part 2:}}}


\small{\purple {\sf \underline{To \: find\:x:}}}

________________________________

step 1:


x + y = {180}^(0)

reason:

leaner pear

________________________________

step 2:


120</strong><strong>⁰</strong><strong> + x = 180</strong><strong>⁰</strong><strong>

Write value of y ie 120

________________________________

step 3:


x = 180</strong><strong>⁰</strong><strong> - 120</strong><strong>⁰</strong><strong>

take 120 to other side to subtract it with 180

________________________________

step 4:


x = 60</strong><strong>⁰</strong><strong>✓</strong><strong>
