Question

For two adjacent angles with measures x° and (x+30)° that make up a 90° angle, what is x ?(1 point) Responses 15

Answer 1

To solve this problem, we need to set up an equation based on the given information that the two adjacent angles add up to 90 degrees.

We know that the measure of the first angle is x° and the measure of the second angle is (x+30)°.

So, we can write the equation:

x + (x+30) = 90

Simplifying the equation, we get:

2x + 30 = 90

Subtracting 30 from both sides, we have:

2x = 60

Dividing both sides by 2, we get:

x = 30

Therefore, x is 30°.
