Question

a side of the triangle below has been extended to form an exterior angle of 136°. find the value of x.

Explanation:

Step1: Recall linear pair property

A linear pair of angles sums to \(180^\circ\). So, \(x + 136^\circ = 180^\circ\).

Step2: Solve for \(x\)

Subtract \(136^\circ\) from both sides: \(x = 180^\circ - 136^\circ\).
\(x = 44^\circ\)

Answer:

\(44\)
