Find the value of


in the triangle shown below.




A triangle. The top, left angle measure is x degrees. The top, right most angle measure is 29 degrees. The bottom, left angle measure is 44 degrees.

1 answer

To find the value of \( x \) in the triangle, we can use the fact that the sum of the angles in any triangle is always \( 180^\circ \).

Given the angles of the triangle:

  • \( x \) (the top left angle)
  • \( 29^\circ \) (the top right angle)
  • \( 44^\circ \) (the bottom left angle)

We can set up the equation:

\[ x + 29 + 44 = 180 \]

Now, combine the known angle measures on the left side:

\[ x + 73 = 180 \]

Next, we isolate \( x \) by subtracting \( 73 \) from both sides:

\[ x = 180 - 73 \]

Calculating this gives:

\[ x = 107 \]

Hence, the value of \( x \) is \( \boxed{107} \).
