Answer
△BDC is an isosceles triangle with BD = DC,
∴ ∠DBC = ∠DCB = 27°.
We know that,
An exterior angle is equal to the sum of two opposite interior angles,
Ext. ∠ADC = ∠DBC + ∠DCB = 27° + 27° = 54°.
△ADC is an isosceles triangle with AC = DC,
∴ ∠DAC = ∠ADC = 54°.
Since, sum of angles of triangle = 180°.
Considering △ADC we get,
⇒ ∠DAC + ∠ADC + ∠DCA = 180°
⇒ 54° + 54° + x = 180°
⇒ x + 108° = 180°
⇒ x = 180° - 108° = 72°.
Hence, x = 72°.
