Question

For two adjacent angles with measures x degrees and (x+30) degrees that make up a 90 degree angle, what is x?

Answer 1

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

To find the value of x, we can set up an equation based on the given information.

The sum of two adjacent angles forming a straight line is always 180 degrees. In this case, the two angles form a 90-degree angle, which is half of 180 degrees.

So, we can set up the following equation:

x + (x + 30) = 90

Simplifying the expression, 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 measure of the smaller angle (x) is 30 degrees.
