Math Problem Statement

Solve

From the given figure, find the value of angle x?

Solution

Let's solve the problem by analyzing the given diagram.

Problem Analysis:

  • We are given two angles:
    • 110110^\circ (exterior angle on the left side),
    • 130130^\circ (exterior angle on the right side).
  • We need to find the value of xx, which is an interior angle of the triangle.

Solution:

Step 1: Calculate the third exterior angle

The sum of the exterior angles on a straight line is 180180^\circ. This gives: 180^\circ - 110^\circ = 70^\circ \quad \text{(Angle adjacent to 110^\circ)}.

Step 2: Sum of angles in a triangle

The sum of all interior angles of a triangle is always 180180^\circ. So, we have: x+70+50=180,x + 70^\circ + 50^\circ = 180^\circ, where 5050^\circ is the interior angle adjacent to 130130^\circ (since 180130=50180^\circ - 130^\circ = 50^\circ).

Step 3: Solve for xx

x=180(70+50),x = 180^\circ - (70^\circ + 50^\circ), x=180120=60.x = 180^\circ - 120^\circ = 60^\circ.

Final Answer:

x=60\boxed{x = 60^\circ}
