World’s Hardest Easy Geometry Problem
Using only elementary geometry, determine angle x. Provide a step-by-step proof.You may only use elementary geometry, such as the fact that the angles of a triangle add up to 180 degrees and the basic congruent triangle rules (side-angle-side, etc.). You may not use more advanced trigonomery, such as the law of sines, the law of cosines, etc. There is a review of elementary geometry below.
This is the hardest problem I have ever seen that is, in a sense, easy. It really can be done using only elementary geometry. This is not a trick question.
We have to answer correctly or we don’t get to eat.
And we can’t use the internet.
