Question

Find the value of x in the given triangle

Sum

Solution

In ∆ABC, given B = 65°,

AC is extended to L, the exterior angle at C, ∠BCL = 135°

Exterior angle is equal to the sum of opposite interior angles.

∠A + ∠B = ∠BCL

∠A + 65° = 135°

∠A = 135° – 65°

∴ ∠A = 70°

x + ∠A = 180°  ...[∵ linear pair]

x + 70° = 180°  ...[∵ ∠A = 70°]

x = 180° – 70°

∴ x = 110°
