Math Help - Grade 8 Geometry

Hii!

I'm a bit stuck on this problem which I have. It tells us to find the angle marked x . I tried my best to copy this diagram into paint, so it seems close to the real drawing to me.

Thanks!!

We have a square, two equilateral triangles and an isosceles triangle. Focus on working out the largest angle in the isosceles triangle. You can do this using the facts that:
-Angles at a point sum $360^o$
-Angles in an equilateral triangle are all $60^o$
-Angles in a square are all $90^o$

Once you've worked out the largest angle in the isosceles triangle, use the facts that the other two angles in the triangle are equal and that all angles in any triangle sum $180^o$.

What is the size of the angles in a square? What is the size of the angles in an equilateral triangle?

Thanks! This helped alot.
So from what you said I drew the conclusion of:

$360^o - (90^o + 60^o + 60^o )
= 360^o - 210^o
= 150^o

180^o - 150^o
= 30^o

30^o / 2
= 15^o

x= 15^o$

$360^o - (90^o + 60^o + 60^o )= 360^o - 210^o= 150^o...................180^o - 150^o = 30^o........................30^o/ 2....= 15^o................x= 15^o$
