Given:-

  • A right angle is given to us.
  • It is made up of two angles (x+42)° and 3x°.

To find:-

  • The value of " x " .

Solution:-

Here the sum of the two unknown angles will be 90° as they are the angles which make up 90° . So that;


\implies x^o + 42^o + 3x^o = 90^o \\


\implies 4x^o = 90^o - 42^o \\


\implies 4x^o = 48^o \\


\implies x =(48)/(4) \\


\implies \boxed{ x = 12} \\

Hence the value of x is 12 .

and we are done!
