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

Answer 1

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

Let's call the first angle x°. The second angle is then (x + 30)°.

Therefore, we have the equation:

x + (x + 30) = 90

Solving for x:

2x + 30 = 90

2x = 90 - 30

2x = 60

x = 60/2

x = 30

The first angle is 30° and the second angle is (30 + 30)° = 60°.
