Question

What is the value of x in the figure?
Enter your answer in the box.

x = ?

Answer 1

x = 29 degrees

Explanation:

In the image, we are given an unknown angle, which is x, with a given angle of 61.

We know the total of these two angles are 90 degrees because of the given right angle in quadrant 2.

So we can simply set both the unknown angle and the given angle, which is 61 degrees, equal to 90 degrees:

x + 61 = 90

Subtract 61 to both sides:

x = 29

The unknown angle "x" is 29 degrees.
