Question

7. Solve for x for the Rectangle
6x°
4x°

Answer 1

9

Explanation:

The interior angle in a rectangle is equal to 90 degrees. If this angle consists of 6x and 4x, then we get the equation:

`6x + 4x = 90$^(\circ)$`

`10x = 90$^(\circ)$`

`x = 9$^(\circ)$`

Checking:

`6x + 4x = 90$^(\circ)$`

`6 * 9$^(\circ)$ + 4 * 9$^(\circ)$ = 90$^(\circ)$`

`54$^(\circ)$ + 36$^(\circ)$ = 90$^(\circ)$`

`90$^(\circ)$ = 90$^(\circ)$`
