Lmn≅pqr what is the value of x in degrees? enter your answer in the box. x = °

LMN≅PQR means that point L is equal to P, point M is equal to Q, and point N is equal to R. All lines are the same.

Point Q has an angle of 72, which means that point M also has an angle of 72.

Now you have two angles to find x. All interior angles of a triangle add up to 180, so you can set up the following equation to find x:

72 + 36 + x = 180

Subtract 36 from both sides.

72 + x = 144

Subtract 72 from both sides.

x = 72

The angle of point L, x, is 72.

Subtracting is the opposite of adding
