Question

For two adjacent angles with measures X and X +30 that make up a 90° angle what is X would it be 20 or 15 or 60 or 30

Answer 1

To find the value of X, we can use the fact that the sum of the measures of two adjacent angles that make up a right angle (90 degrees) is also equal to 90 degrees.

Let's set up the equation:
X + (X + 30) = 90

Now, we can solve for X:
2X + 30 = 90
2X = 90 - 30
2X = 60
X = 60/2
X = 30

Therefore, X = 30.
