Answer:

x = 79°

Explanation:

The arrows on the line segments indicate that the lines are parallel.

As the parallel line segments are the same length, the other pair of opposite line segments are also parallel and the same length. Therefore, we can apply the Alternate Interior Angles Theorem.

Alternate Interior Angles Theorem

If a line intersects a set of parallel lines in the same plane at two distinct points, the alternate interior angles that are formed are congruent.

Therefore, the missing angle in the triangle including angle x is 28°.

Interior angles of a triangle sum to 180°

⇒ 73° + 28° + x = 180°

⇒ x = 180° - 73° - 28°

⇒ x = 79°
