Answer
As ED is a straight line, we have
⇒ 60° + ∠AED = 180° [Linear pair]
⇒ ∠AED = 180° - 60° = 120°
Also, as CD is a straight line
⇒ 50° + ∠BCD = 180° [Linear pair]
⇒ ∠BCD = 180° – 50°
⇒ ∠BCD = 130°
In pentagon ABCDE, we have
⇒ ∠A + ∠B + ∠AED + ∠BCD + x = 540° [Sum of interior angles of pentagon is 540°]
⇒ 90° + 90° + 120° + 130° + x = 540°
⇒ 430° + x = 540°
⇒ x = 540° - 430°
⇒ x = 110°
Hence, value of x = 110°.
