![**Problem: Finding the Angle in a Triangle**
Find the value of \( x \) in the triangle shown below.
\( x = \) [ ]
The triangle is shown with the following details:
- It is an isosceles triangle with two sides measuring \( 7 \) units each.
- The third side measures \( 5.7 \) units.
- One of the angles at the base opposite to the \( 5.7 \) side is \( 66^\circ \).
- The angle marked as \( x^\circ \) is opposite to the side of length \( 5.7 \).
**Explanation of Diagram:**
The diagram presents a triangle with three sides labeled. The base of the triangle measures \( 5.7 \) units, and the two equal sides measure \( 7 \) units each. The vertex angle at the top is not labeled, but one of the base angles is \( 66^\circ \), and the other base angle is labeled \( x^\circ \).](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2Ff1dcf6ca-e970-44b4-b721-739cfd1e4ffe%2Fad957376-228d-4bff-8ef6-c3445c1b5639%2Fyxo3kfu_processed.jpeg&w=3840&q=75)
