      correct, just commenting the 100/80 intersection looks like 90/90, i think it was intentionally misleading, classic trying to get you problem

        Yes I originally thought 90 but then noticed the absence of a right angle sign. Also 60+40=100 which means the last angle should be 80. Making that perpendicular 100/80

      Yes, simple doodle below for anyone wondering.

      You start from left, and calculate them 1 by 1, based on the angles that you already know. It is quite simple actually, you just have to know they always add up to 180 (within triangle, and when you “split” the space over a straight line).

      Nope. The value is “undefined”. You don’t have enough info to arrive at 135 - you are assuming that the bottom angle (sum of the angles that touch) is 180 degrees. Since there isn’t a datum saying the bottom “line” is straight, nor does it say the triangle on the right is an isosceles triangle, it is impossible to solve.

          Oh shit you’re right. The left triangles unmarked angle is 80, meaning the right triangles internal angles are 100, 35, and 45. This means X is 135

          Even if it was a right angle, I think a second assumption is that the top left and bottom lines are equal length, which is also not stated.

          I think there’s just not enough information in this picture to calculate the angle, and it can only be determined by measuring. But the image also does not specify that it is drawn to scale.
