Question

Find the measure of angle x in the figure below: (1 point)


35°

47°

73°

78°

Answer 1

Answer:

35°

Step-by-step explanation:

1. First, let's find the measure of Angle y. To do this, we should first know that 56 + y + 51 = 180 because they form a line/straight angle.

• $56 + 51 + y = 180$
• $107 + y = 180$
• $y = 73$
• Angle y is 73 degrees.

2. Next, we have to find the measure of Angle X. We know that the sum of all angles in a triangle is 180 degrees, so $x + 73 + 72 = 180$

• $73 + 72 + x = 180$
• $145 + x = 180$
• $x = 35$

Therefore, x = 35°.
