Answer

118∘\text{118}^\circ

Step-by-step solution

2 steps
  1. Find the interior angle of the triangle adjacent to the 132∘132^\circ exterior angle.

    Angles on a straight line sum to 180∘180^\circ.
    Let the interior angle be AA.

    A=180∘−132∘=48∘A = 180^\circ - 132^\circ = 48^\circ
  2. Use the exterior angle theorem.

    The exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the two opposite interior angles. In this case, angle xx is an exterior angle, and the two opposite interior angles are AA and 70∘70^\circ.

    x=A+70∘x = A + 70^\circ

    Substitute the value of AA:

    x=48∘+70∘x = 48^\circ + 70^\circ x=118∘x = 118^\circ

    The size of angle xx is 118∘\boxed{\text{118}^\circ}
