Problem 419

Geometry Difficulty 2.1 Multiple choice CEMC Pascal · Canada · 2014

In the diagram, what is the value of $x$ ?

Pick one

Official solution

Since the sum of the angles in a triangle is $180^\circ$ , then $50^\circ + x^\circ + 45^\circ = 180^\circ$ or $x+95 = 180$ .

Therefore, $x = 85$ .
