A right angle is formed by two adjacent angles with measure of (x°) and (x+30)°. What are the two angle measure

1 answer

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°.
