Question

find the value of x.

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze the angles at point F

We can see that the angle between FB and FE is a right angle (90°), and it is composed of three angles: two angles of \((x + 4)^\circ\) and one angle which is also \((x + 4)^\circ\)? Wait, no, looking at the diagram, the right angle (90°) is formed by FB (horizontal left) and FE (vertical down). The angles between FB and FC, FC and FD, FD and FE: Wait, actually, the sum of the three angles \((x + 4)^\circ\), \((x + 4)^\circ\), and wait, no, maybe the right angle is split into three angles? Wait, no, looking again, the diagram shows that from FB (left) to FC is \((x + 4)^\circ\), FC to FD is some angle, FD to FE is \((x + 4)^\circ\), and the total from FB to FE is 90°. Wait, maybe the two angles \((x + 4)^\circ\) and another angle? Wait, no, maybe the right angle is composed of two angles of \((x + 4)^\circ\) and one angle? Wait, no, let's re - examine. The angle between FB and FE is 90 degrees. The angles: FB to FC is \((x + 4)^\circ\), FC to FD is... Wait, maybe the diagram has FB (horizontal), FE (vertical), and the angle between FB and FE is 90°. Then, there are two angles of \((x + 4)^\circ\) and one angle that is equal? Wait, no, perhaps the three angles: \((x + 4)^\circ\) (FB - FC), \((x + 4)^\circ\) (FC - FD), and \((x + 4)^\circ\) (FD - FE)? No, that can't be, because 3(x + 4) would be more than 90. Wait, maybe it's two angles of \((x + 4)^\circ\) and the right angle is 90, so 2(x + 4) + something? Wait, no, looking at the diagram again (as per the given figure), the angle at F: FB is horizontal left, FE is vertical down, so angle BFE is 90°. Then, the angles: angle BFC = (x + 4)°, angle CFE = 2(x + 4)°? No, wait, the diagram shows angle BFC = (x + 4)°, angle DFE = (x + 4)°, and angle CFD is equal to angle BFC? Wait, maybe the right angle is divided into three equal parts? No, the key is that the sum of the angles around the right angle: (x + 4) + (x + 4) + (x + 4)= 90? No, that would be 3x + 12 = 90, 3x=78, x = 26. Wait, but maybe it's two angles. Wait, let's think again. The angle between FB and FE is 90 degrees. If we have two angles of (x + 4) degrees, then 2(x + 4)=90? No, 2x + 8 = 90, 2x=82, x = 41. But that doesn't seem right. Wait, maybe the diagram has FB (left), FC, FD, FE (down), with angle BFC = (x + 4)°, angle DFE=(x + 4)°, and angle CFD is a right angle? No, the right angle is BFE. Wait, maybe the correct equation is (x + 4)+(x + 4)+(x + 4)=90? No, that would be 3(x + 4)=90. Let's solve that:

Step1: Set up the equation

Since the sum of the three angles (each \((x + 4)^\circ\)) is equal to 90° (because angle BFE is a right angle), we have the equation:
\(3(x + 4)=90\)

Step2: Solve for x

First, divide both sides of the equation by 3:
\(x + 4=\frac{90}{3}=30\)
Then, subtract 4 from both sides:
\(x = 30 - 4=26\)

Answer:

\(x = 26\)
