I got A - 70°, you can complete the top triangle as 30°, 40° and 110° because l1 and l2 are parallel, x = 180° - 110° which is 70°

A couple of other ways to approach . . .

\(l_1\) and \(l_2\) are cut by a transversal

Alternate interior angles are congruent.
Lower right angle = \(40°\)
Other angle of lower triangle, given = \(30°\)

1) \(x\) = exterior angle
Exterior angle \(x\) = sum of opposite interior angles of lower triangle
Exterior angle \(x\) \(= (30° + 40°) =\) \(70°\)

OR

2) Straight line: Third angle of lower ∆ + \(x = 180°\)
Interior angles of a triangle sum to 180°
Lower ∆'s third angle = \(110°\)
(\((180° - 30° - 40°) = 110°\) = third angle))

Third angle lies on a straight line with \(x\)
\(110° + x° = 180°\)
\(x = 70°\)

Drawing a additional parallel line l1 and l2 and using property of equal alternate angle between 2 parallel line

we get x= 30 +40
x=70

Draw a line through the vertex of angle x that is parallel to both l1 and l2. We will see that angle x is the sum of the two given angles of 40 degrees and 30 degrees. Thus angle x = 70 degrees.

Answer: A

x = 180 - (180 - 40 - 30) = 70
