Since all of the radii in a circle have the same length, we know that the 3 red lines below all have the same length.

Since we are told that AB = BC = CD, we can say that all 5 red lines below have the same length

This means the two red triangles must be
equilateral triangles, which means all of their angles are 60°

Since all 4 sides of the red quadrilateral below have the same length, we know that the quadrilateral is a
rhombus
In a rhombus, the diagonals bisect the angles.
So the blue diagonal above, bisects the
60° angle into two equal angles of 30° each, which means
x = 30Answer: B
Cheers,
Brent
