A right angle is formed by two adjacent angles with measures of ( x )° and ( x + 30 )°. What are the two angle measures?
To form a right angle, the two adjacent angles must add up to 90 degrees.
So, we can set up the equation:
x + (x + 30) = 90
Simplifying the equation, we have:
2x + 30 = 90
Subtracting 30 from both sides of the equation:
2x = 60
Dividing both sides of the equation by 2:
x = 30
Thus, the measures of the two adjacent angles are 30° and (30 + 30)° = 60°.
