Question 3

Find x in the following diagram.

Accepted Answer

Using the opposite angles in a parallelogram are equal property, we can see that angle x is equal to 110 degrees. Then, using the angles in a triangle add up to 180 degrees property, we can find that the sum of the two known angles (40 + x) is equal to 70 degrees. Solving for x gives us x = 70 degrees. Therefore, the answer is choice A.
