Find the size of the angle marked x in the diagram.
  • A.
    108o
  • B.
    112o
  • C.
    128o
  • D.
    142o
Correct Answer: Option C
Explanation

x + 52o = 90
x = 90 – 52
x = 38o
k = opposite angle Z
k = 38o
y + k = 90o
y + 38o = 90o
y = 90o – 38o
y = 52o
y = x = 180o(sum of angles on straight line)
52 + x = 180o
x = 180 – 52
x = 128
