For a good time solve this shmoopy question... Find the value of X?
- 00:06
And here are your options...
- 00:10
Okay, so we just need to find X. First we need to determine the last mystery angle in the quadrilateral
- 00:17
since X in the quadrilateral angle combined to make a straight angle
- 00:21
which is always a 180 degrees. A quadrilateral's

angles measure 360-degrees so
- 00:27
to find the last angle in the quadrilateral we can take
- 00:31
360 minus the quantity 120 plus 125 plus 55
- 00:36
so 120 plus 125 plus 55 is 300
- 00:40
we get 360 -300 and that's 60
- 00:43
we want X plus 60 equal 180
- 00:46
so we subtract 60 from both sides
- 00:49
and X equals 120. Answer choice D.
