Math Problem Statement

Please solution this

The diagram shows a triangle. What is the value of x?

Solution

To solve for xx in the given triangle, let's analyze the information provided in the image.

The triangle has the following angles:

  • 7171^\circ
  • 5050^\circ
  • xx^\circ (which we need to find)

In any triangle, the sum of the interior angles is always 180180^\circ. Therefore, we can write the equation:

71+50+x=18071^\circ + 50^\circ + x^\circ = 180^\circ

Now, let's solve for xx:

x=1807150x^\circ = 180^\circ - 71^\circ - 50^\circ

x=180121x^\circ = 180^\circ - 121^\circ

x=59x^\circ = 59^\circ

So, the value of xx is 5959^\circ.
