Question

Find the value of x.
33°
107°
x

Answer 1

x = 140°

Explanation:

Concepts

The Exterior Angle Theorem states that the two remote angles in a triangle is equal to the exterior angle.

Application

In this case, the two remotes angles are 107 and 33°, and the exterior angle is x. Now, all we have to do is just add 107 and 33 to get our answer.

Solution

• 107 + 33
• 140°

Answer 2

140

Explanation:

Angles in a triangle add up 180 :

180 = 107 + 33 + y

y = 180 - (107+33)

y = 180 - 140

y = 40

Angles on a straight line add up to 180 so :

180 = x + y

180 = x + 40

x= 180 - 40

x = 140

Hope this helped and have a good day
