that's given

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

the angle vertical to angle x, which is this angle here |dw:1365457629747:dw|

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

is congruent to angle x, so we know that |dw:1365457644981:dw|

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

the three angles of the triangle are: x, 69, 62 they must add to 180 degrees x+69+62 = 180
