Find the measure of angle X.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you have a 90 degree angle

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and triangle's angles have to equal 180

OpenStudy (anonymous):

90+90=180

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so to find what y is first i think you would say 29 + 90 - 180

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so y = 61

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but it said find x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hmm im forgetting a step again

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i had something my teachers always had me solve the entire thing...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you have to find y first then you use 17 and 90 to find x+y then you solve for x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes that it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

confused

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ill draw a pic

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you have to find y in order to solve for x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

X can be found out without finding Y

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh so we plug y in

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Exterior angle of a triangle is equal to sum of interior opposite angles

OpenStudy (anonymous):

would be the difference of the 29 and 17
