A right angle is formed by 2 adjacent angles with the measure of X an X plus 30. What are the two angle measures

Answer 1

To form a right angle, the sum of the two adjacent angles must be 90 degrees.

Let's call the measure of the first angle x.

According to the problem, the measure of the second angle is x + 30.

The sum of the two angles is given by:
x + (x + 30) = 90

Simplifying the equation, we have:
2x + 30 = 90

Subtracting 30 from both sides of the equation:
2x + 30 - 30 = 90 - 30

Simplifying further:
2x = 60

Dividing both sides of the equation by 2:
2x/2 = 60/2

x = 30

So, the measure of the first angle is 30 degrees, and the measure of the second angle is x + 30, which is:
30 + 30 = 60 degrees.

Therefore, the two angle measures are 30 degrees and 60 degrees.
