To find the measure of angle \( x \) in the triangle, we can use the Triangle Angle Sum Theorem, which states that the sum of the angles in a triangle is always \( 180° \).

Given the angles are \( 30° \), \( 70° \), and \( x \), we can set up the equation:

\[
30° + 70° + x = 180°
\]

Now, combine the known angles:

\[
100° + x = 180°
\]

Next, subtract \( 100° \) from both sides to solve for \( x \):

\[
x = 180° - 100° = 80°
\]

Thus, the measure of angle \( x \) is \( 80° \).

The correct response is:
**80°**
