It would help to label the vertices of the outer triangle.
\n" ); document.write( "Start on the left side and go clockwise to mark angles A,B,C.
\n" ); document.write( "C is at the top.
\n" ); document.write( "There are two isosceles triangles: one on the left, one on the right.
\n" ); document.write( "The left has an apex angle of 58.
\n" ); document.write( "Each base angle in the left isosceles triangle is (1/2)(180-58)=61 degrees.
\n" ); document.write( "The point situated between C and A has two angles at it: one is a 61 degree
\n" ); document.write( "base angle; the other is the supplement of 61 which is 180-61=119 degrees.
\n" ); document.write( "Then each of the base angles of the RIGHT isosceles triangle is (1/2)(180-119)
\n" ); document.write( "=30.5 degrees
\n" ); document.write( "One of those base angles is x.
\n" ); document.write( "So x=30.5 degrees
