Respuesta :

Recall that the Angle-Angle criterion states that two triangles are similar if two of their angles are congruent.

Now, recall that the interior angles of a triangle add up to 180 degrees, therefore, the other side of the largest triangle has measure

[tex]180^{\circ}-115^{\circ}-38^{\circ}=27^{\circ}.[/tex]

Therefore, the values that x could be are:

[tex]27\text{ or 115.}[/tex]

Answer: First option.

[tex]27\text{ or 115.}[/tex]
