Question

Find x in the figure

Right corner 35°
Left corner 40°
Top of triangle y x

Answer 1

To find the value of \( x \) in the triangle you've described, we can start by noting that the sum of the angles in any triangle is always 180 degrees. In your triangle, you have:

- One angle of 35°
- Another angle of 40°
- The remaining angle will be \( y \) and \( x \) as expressed in your description.

First, we can find the third angle \(y\) using the formula:

\[
y + 35° + 40° = 180°
\]

Now, we can simplify this:

\[
y + 75° = 180°
\]

Subtracting 75° from both sides, we have:

\[
y = 180° - 75° = 105°
\]

So now we know the three angles of the triangle are 35°, 40°, and 105°. If \( x \) is meant to represent the angle \( y \), then:

\[
x = 105°
\]

If you were asking something different concerning \( x \), please provide additional context or clarify, and I'll be glad to assist!
