Answer:
x = 29
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that both triangles are congruent to each other, therefore, their corresponding angles are congruent as well. This means all three angles in one is the same as all three corresponding angles of the other.
Therefore:
m<CAB = m<CDE = 74°
m<ABC = 2x (given)
m<BCA = 48° (given)
Thus:
m<CAB + m<ABC + m<BCA = 180° (sum of triangle)
Substitute
74 + 2x + 48 = 180
Add like terms
2x + 122 = 180
2x + 122 - 122 = 180 - 122
2x = 58
2x/2 = 58/2
x = 29
