The two adjacent angles in question add up to form a right angle, so their measures must sum to 90 degrees.
We are given that the measure of one angle is x° and the measure of the other angle is x + 30°.
Therefore, we can set up the equation:
x + (x + 30) = 90
Combining like terms, we have:
2x + 30 = 90
Subtracting 30 from both sides, we obtain:
2x = 60
Dividing both sides by 2, we find:
x = 30
Therefore, the two angle measures are 30° and (30 + 30)°, which simplifies to 30° and 60°.
A right angle is formed by two adjacent angles with measure of (x°) and (x+30)°. What are the two angle measure
