C.    63
D.    65
E.    It cannot be determined from the information given.

正确答案: B
解析:
The circles each have radius 10, so AB = AD = DC = 10. Since the circles are tangent at point D, segment

contains D and AC = 20. Also,

and

are perpendicular because a line tangent to a circle forms a rightangle with the radius at the point of tangency. Therefore,

ABC is a right *** with hypotenuse 20 and side

of length 10. A right *** with one side of length one-half that ofits hypotenuse is a 30° - 60° - 90° ***. The 30° angle is oppositeside

, so x = 90 – 30 = 60.
