The two adjacent angles form a right angle, meaning their measures add up to 90°.
So, we have the equation x° + (x+30)° = 90°.
Combining like terms, we get 2x + 30 = 90.
Subtracting 30 from both sides, we have 2x = 60.
Dividing by 2, we find x = 30.
The two angles measures are 30° and 30° + 30° = 60°.
A right angle is formed by two adjacent angles with measures of (×)° and (x+30)°. What are the two angle measures?
