minus-squarePM_Your_Nudes_Please@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up5·edit-22 months agoIt’s not unsolvable at all. The answer is x=135°. The triangles simply aren’t drawn to scale; The line between them isn’t a 90° angle, (even though it is drawn that way) because it is not specifically marked as 90° with a square angle mark.
