Question

Find the measure of angle X (pic below)

I found the other x, but I don't know how to continue to find the angle X:
5x - 6 = 2x + 12
5x - 2x = 12 + 6
3x = 18
x = 6

5(6) - 6 = 24

Answer 1

the two triangles are similar?

Answer 2

I only have the info you can see in the pic. So I'm not sure.

Answer 3

it's been too long since I took geometry

Answer 4

Answer 5

what is this kind of problem called? I could probably get it if I could see an example problem

Answer 6

or find the theorems or whatever involved

Answer 7

I have no idea :( I'm staring at all the properties of congruent and similar triangles and everything else but can't figure it out.

Answer 8

I can't see how to figure this out

Answer 9

Ok, this might be a similar problem. But I still can't figure it out :/

Answer 10

it's not really a similar problem, they give you arc measures and the center of the cirlcle. I think the problem doesn't give enough information. Ask your teacher.

Answer 11

Alrighty. Thanks for trying.
