The measures of the angles of a triangle are shown in the figure below. Solve for x.
Left side: x. Right side: 36.
Since the sum of the angles of a triangle is always 180 degrees, we can write the equation:
x + 36 + 90 = 180
Combining like terms:
x + 126 = 180
Subtracting 126 from both sides:
x = 180 - 126
Simplifying:
x = 54
Therefore, x = 54.
