How can I solve x in this shape?

740 Views Asked by At

I've been learning angles on lines and in shapes but I've been struggling with how to go about solving this. Usually you're given more angle values or at least a side value as a starting point - Image of shape but here it's only 90 degrees. I know the parallelogram can be split in to two triangles and that the angles opposite are equal, I also know that the angle left of the 90 is a reflex angle, I just don't know where to go from there and how to use any of that info to get to the next step. I know the answer is x= 52 but the reason wasn't given and I don't understand how they got it. Please can somebody explain it? Thank you.

If you read the test paper, it asks you to measure it, i.e use a protractor instead of using geometry! Especially as it is only one mark they aren't after lots of work!
