Question

Solve for the angle x.

Answer 1

if I did my math right it's 45 if not please fix me

Explanation:

First thing is the the sides are congruent meant the angles have to be the same.

Next is the box indicates 90°.

Last thing is that every triangle is 180°

so if I did this right the equation is 2x+90=180

and using algebra in this you eliminate the 90 by subtract because - is the opposite of + which cancels itself and leaving the total with 90.

Then divide the 90 by 2 as it cancels out 2x leaving the answer with x=45

I hope this helps you

Answer 2

x=45

Explanation:

An entire triangle is 180 degrees and you already know that one angle is 90 degrees. 180 - 90 is 90. Now you have the equation 2x=90.

You then divide each side by 2 to get the x by itself which leaves you with x=45.
