Question

What is x? please help

Answer 1

Answer: 132 Degrees

Step-by-step explanation: Since you know all the angles have to add up to 360 and one of the angles is 48. Alternate angles are always equal so you would do 48 and double that making 96. 360-96 leaves you with 264. Using the same alternate angles rule you would just divide that by 2 which leaves you with 132 degrees.

Answer 2

x = 132

Explanation:

The sum of interior angles in parallelogram equals 360. Opposite angles are congruent. (have equal measures)

360 = 48 x 2 + 2x

360 = 96 + 2x

(subtract 96 from both sides)

264 = 2x

(divide both sides by 2)

132 = x

Check:

2x + (48 x 2) = 360

(132 x 2) + 96 = 360

264 + 96 = 360

360 = 360
