Math Problem Statement
Find the of value x
Solution
Let's analyze the new image to find the value of .
Description and Analysis:
The image depicts a quadrilateral with the following angles labeled:
- One angle is (the value we need to find).
- Another angle is .
- There is a right angle ().
- The fourth angle is .
Solution:
The sum of the interior angles of any quadrilateral is always . We can set up the equation for the sum of the angles in this quadrilateral.
- Sum of the angles:
- Combine the known angles:
- Solving for :
Thus, the value of is .
