Answer
As angles in same segment are equal.
∴ ∠ABD = ∠ACD = 30°.
From figure,
∠ADB = 90° [As angle in semi-circle is a right angle.]
In △ADB,
⇒ ∠ABD + ∠ADB + ∠BAD = 180° [By angle sum property of triangle]
⇒ 30° + 90° + x = 180°
⇒ 120° + x = 180°
⇒ x = 180° - 120° = 60°.
Hence, the value of x = 60°.
