Explanation
Correct answer: 83.
It's given that in the figure, . Thus, triangle is an isosceles triangle and the measure of angle is equal to the measure of angle . The sum of the measures of the interior angles of a triangle is . Thus, the sum of the measures of the interior angles of triangle is . It's given that the measure of angle is . It follows that the sum of the measures of angles and is , or . Since the measure of angle is equal to the measure of angle , the measure of angle is half of , or . The sum of the measures of the interior angles of triangle is . It's given that the measure of angle is . Since the measure of angle , which is the same angle as angle , is , it follows that the measure of angle is , or . Since angle and angle form a straight line, the sum of the measures of these angles is . It's given in the figure that the measure of angle is . It follows that . Subtracting from both sides of this equation yields .
Desmos solution:
Note: Evaluate the base angle of the isosceles triangle. Use that value to solve for the missing angle in triangle BDE. Subtract that result from 180 to get x.
