Transcript text: En la figura, ¿cuál es el valor de x ?
a) $60^{\circ}$
b) $66^{\circ}$
c) $72^{\circ}$
d) $70^{\circ}$
e) $45^{\circ}$
Solution
Solution Steps
Step 1: Identify the known angles
In the given figure, we know one of the angles is 136°.
Step 2: Calculate the adjacent angle
Since the sum of angles on a straight line is 180°, the adjacent angle to 136° is:
\[ 180° - 136° = 44° \]
Step 3: Use the triangle angle sum property
The sum of the angles in a triangle is always 180°. Let the unknown angle be \( x \). The other two angles in the triangle are 44° and 58° (since the angle adjacent to 136° is 44° and the other angle is given as 58°).
\[ x + 44° + 58° = 180° \]
Step 4: Solve for \( x \)
\[ x = 180° - 44° - 58° \]
\[ x = 78° \]
Final Answer
The value of \( x \) is 78°, but this is not one of the given options. Therefore, there might be a mistake in the problem or the options provided.
