Answer:

x = 29°

Step-by-step explanation:

The triangle on right side is an isosceles triangle with two similar angles.

Let that angle be z:

⇒ z + z + 64° = 180°

⇒ 2z = 180° - 64°

⇒ 2z = 116°

⇒ z = 58°

After finding z, find the opposite angle:

⇒ 180° - 58° = 122°

Find the value of x:

⇒ x + x + 122° = 180°

⇒ 2x = 180° - 122°

⇒ 2x = 58°

⇒ x = 29°

Answer:

29


the triangle on the right has 2 sides the same so the lower two corners have the same angle which would be (180-64)/2 = 58 degrees


the lower right angle of the triangle on the left Sadie would be 180-58 = 122.

Since 2 sides of the triangle on the left are the same the other two angles would be equal to each other.

x = (180-122)/2 = 29 degrees
