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

Answer 1

Since a right angle is formed by two adjacent angles, the sum of their angle measures must be 90 degrees. Therefore, we can set up the equation:

x + (x + 30) = 90

Combining like terms, we get:

2x + 30 = 90

Subtracting 30 from both sides, we have:

2x = 60

Dividing both sides by 2, we get:

x = 30

Therefore, the two angle measures are 30 degrees and (30 + 30) = 60 degrees.
