Math Problem Statement

In the image, we have a triangle with an angle of 28° and another angle of 40°. The question asks for the value of x, which likely refers to the unknown angle in the triangle. What is the value of x?

Solution

In the image, we have a triangle with an angle of 28° and another angle of 40°. The question asks for the value of xx, which likely refers to the unknown angle in the triangle.

To solve for xx, we can use the fact that the sum of the angles in any triangle is always 180°.

So, to find xx: x=1802840x = 180^\circ - 28^\circ - 40^\circ

Let’s calculate that: x=18068=112x = 180^\circ - 68^\circ = 112^\circ

Thus, x=112x = 112^\circ.
