**Title: Solving for the Value of x in a Triangle** **Introduction:** This problem involves finding the value of the variable \( x \) in a geometric setup involving triangles. Understanding the relationship between the angles and sides of a triangle will be key in solving this problem. **Diagram Explanation:** We have a diagram of a right triangle with the following components: - One angle is marked as \( 50^\circ \). - Another angle is marked as \( 30^\circ \). - There is a right angle at the base, denoted by the square corner. - The side opposite the \( 30^\circ \) angle is labeled as \( x \). - The adjacent side to the \( 30^\circ \) angle, parallel to the base, is given as \( 115 \). **Problem Statement:** Find the value of \( x \). **Steps to Solve:** 1. Recognize that since the triangle is a right triangle, the angles must add up to \( 180^\circ \). 2. Use the fact that the sum of angles in a triangle is \( 180^\circ \) to find any missing angle. 3. Apply trigonometric ratios (sine, cosine, or tangent) to solve for \( x \). **Conclusion:** Using the relationships between the triangle's angles and applying basic trigonometric identities, the value of \( x \) can be determined. This exercise provides practical experience in applying geometric principles and trigonometry to solve for unknown variables.
