Answer:
144°
Step-by-step explanation:
x is an exterior angle of the triangle.
Angles 96° and 48° are interior angles of the triangle that are not adjacent to angle x. Angles 96° and 48° are called the "remote interior angles" of exterior angle x.
Theorem:
The measure of an exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the measures of the remote interior angles.
x = 48 + 96
x = 144
Answer: 144°
