Question

a side of the triangle below has been extended to form an exterior angle of 136°. find the value of x.

Explanation:

Step1: Use the linear - pair relationship

The exterior angle of \(136^{\circ}\) and \(x^{\circ}\) form a linear pair. The sum of angles in a linear pair is \(180^{\circ}\). So, we have the equation \(x + 136=180\).

Step2: Solve for \(x\)

Subtract \(136\) from both sides of the equation \(x + 136=180\).
