The calculated value of x in the circle is 2
How to determine the value of x
From the question, we have the following parameters that can be used in our computation:
The circle
The angle in a semicircle is 90 degrees
Also, the sum of angles in a triangle is 180 degrees
So, we have
116/2 + 17x - 2 + 90 = 180
Evaluate the like terms
17x + 146 = 180
So, we have
17x = 180 - 146
17x = 34
Divide both sides by 17
x = 2
Hence, the value of x is 2
