Question

What is the value of x if the acute angles of a right triangle measure 8x* and 12x*?

*= degrees i cant use degree signs on here so im using (*)

Answer 1

x = 4.5

Explanation:

8x + 12x + 90 = 180 {Sum of all angles of a triangle is 180}

20x + 90= 180

20x = 180 - 90

20x = 90

x = 90/20

x = 4.5
