The maths is accurate but the diagram is wrong - in the diagram the angle x is bigger than the one labelled 58 (which in the diagram is smaller than 58)

DourGeneral48009, which is why all math instruction includes the admonishment to NEVER assume the drawing is accurate. Always use the stated facts. That's a helpful life lesson.

This type of Maths is all French to me

Heartland Old Guy

Although not labeled, the two unlabeled angles are equal to each other, making their value irrelevant. To compute the value of x, by theorem the sums of x + 58 and 31 + 68 must be equal. 31 + 68= 99, thus x + 58= 99, or x = 41. The sum of the labeled angles is also irrelevant.

jsinren, I GUESSED BUT WOULD LIKE TO WORK IT OUT SO I TOOK A PHOTO OF THE SUM

Under pressure I answered incorrectly but it took me back to secondary school!!

nippy90002, I wish my math teacher in high school could see that I was correct! But it doesn’t really matter

nippy90002, didn’t know didn’t care

DourGeneral48009, The diagram is a little misleading, but not wrong. Many math teachers and textbooks intentionally make the angles look smaller or larger to bait students into guessing wrong or penalizing them for lunging for the nearest protractor. All that matters are the given numbers.

Don’t get it Don’t care 🤷🏻‍♀️ either tbh

Does it matter? Lol couldn’t do maths at school despite having a good teacher it seemed more fun to mess about oops

varada

I don't no what is this 😐

QuizzMister

CuckooAnge, Thanks for the explanation 👍😀

nippy90002, yup, mine either. Left that type of problem behind 45 years ago. oh, well.

Jeorne, I could've used that!

Would've figured it out but I panicked 😅 thinking I'd run out of time so I guessed. Wrongly. Math isn't my forte, and neither is my sense of time, so my chances were slim I'd sail thru this with confidence lol - call me a full fledged dyscalculic idk
