how do you know
We know that the sum of complementary angles is 90 degrees. In this diagram, x and its complement form a pair of complementary angles. Therefore, we can set up the equation:
x + (90-x) = 90
Simplifying the equation, we get:
x + 90 - x = 90
Combining like terms, we get:
90 = 90
This equation is true for any value of x. Therefore, the value of x can be any number.
x + (90-x) = 90
Simplifying the equation, we get:
x + 90 - x = 90
Combining like terms, we get:
90 = 90
This equation is true for any value of x. Therefore, the value of x can be any number.
