Math Problem Statement

Find the value of x° in a triangle with angles 96°, 50°, and x°.

Solution

This triangle includes angles xx^\circ, 5050^\circ, and 9696^\circ. Using the property of a triangle that the sum of the interior angles equals 180180^\circ, we can calculate xx^\circ as follows:

x+50+96=180x^\circ + 50^\circ + 96^\circ = 180^\circ

Simplify:

x=1805096x^\circ = 180^\circ - 50^\circ - 96^\circ

x=34x^\circ = 34^\circ

Final Answer:

The value of xx^\circ is 3434^\circ.
