Measure of x problem

[hakandragon]

Hi everyone, I hope I have this in the right section.
So, obviously, I've got this problem and I just can't figure it out. (I swear to God I'm a retard when it comes to math; have been since like, 8th grade.)

Given circle with centre O with DE tangent at B.
Find the measure of x.




I did my best to draw out the diagram...I hope it's readable.

Anyways, any help would be loved.

Thanks so much.

The line DE is tangent to the circle at point B. The segment OB is a radius line, so, by definition, OB is perpendicular to DE. Then the angle OBD measures 90 degrees.

Since angle FBD measures 31 degrees, then the angle at B in the triangle OBF must measure 90 - 31 = 59 degrees.

By nature of circles and their chords, the triangle OBF is isosceles, so the angle at F is also 59 degrees.

I'll bet you can find the measure of x from here...

*gasp* Yes@@ Thank you so much!
