Question

a side of the triangle below has been extended to form an exterior angle of
find the value of $x$.
answer attempt 1 out of 2
$x = $

Explanation:

Step1: Find adjacent interior angle

The exterior angle and its adjacent interior angle are supplementary (sum to $180^\circ$).
$180^\circ - 131^\circ = 49^\circ$

Step2: Calculate $x$ using triangle angles

The triangle is right-angled, so the sum of the two non-right angles is $90^\circ$.
$x = 90^\circ - 49^\circ$

Answer:

$41$
