Find the value of the unknown interior angle x in the following figures:



(i) It is given in the question that,


1st interior angle = x and 2nd interior angle = 50o


Note: According to exterior angle theorem:


The measure of an exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the measure of the two non-adjacent interior angles of the triangle.


Exterior angle = 115o


Sum of interior angles = x + 50o


Using exterior angle theorem, we have


115o = x + 50o


x = 115o – 50o


x = 65o


Hence, the value of x is 65o


(ii) It is given in the question that,


1st interior angle = 70o and 2nd interior angle = x


Note: According to exterior angle theorem:


The measure of an exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the measure of the two non-adjacent interior angles of the triangle.


Exterior angle = 100o


Sum of interior angles = 70o + x


Using exterior angle theorem, we have


100o = 70o + x


x = 100o – 70o


x = 30o


Hence, the value of x is 30o


(iii) It is given in the question that,


1st interior angle = x and 2nd interior angle = 90o


Now, according to exterior angle theorem:


The measure of an exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the measure of the two non-adjacent interior angles of the triangle.


Exterior angle = 125o


Sum of interior angles = x + 90o


Using exterior angle theorem, we have


125o = x + 90o


x = 125o – 90o


x = 35o


Hence, the value of x is 35o


(iv) It is given in the question that,


1st interior angle = x and, 2nd interior angle = 60o


Note: According to exterior angle theorem:


The measure of an exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the measure of the two non-adjacent interior angles of the triangle.


Exterior angle = 120o


Sum of interior angles = x + 60o


Using exterior angle theorem, we have


120o = x + 60o


x = 120o – 60o


x = 60o


Hence, the value of x is 60o


(v) It is given in the question that,


1st interior angle = x and 2nd interior angle = 30o


Note: According to exterior angle theorem:


The measure of an exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the measure of the two non-adjacent interior angles of the triangle.


Exterior angle = 80o


Sum of interior angles = x + 30o


Using exterior angle theorem, we have


80o = x + 30o


x = 80o – 30o


x = 50o


Hence, the value of x is 50o


(vi) It is given in the question that,


1st interior angle = x and 2nd interior angle = 35o


Note: According to exterior angle theorem:


The measure of an exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the measure of the two non-adjacent interior angles of the triangle.


Exterior angle = 75o


Sum of interior angles = x + 35o


Using exterior angle theorem, we have


75o = x + 35o


x = 75o – 35o


x = 40o


Hence, the value of x is 40o
