Question

Let (2x-12) degrees represent the measure of an acute angle. What are the possible values of x?

Answer 1

6 < x < 51

Explanation:

An acute angle has a measure between 0 and 90 degrees:

0 < 2x -12 < 90

12 < 2x < 102 . . . . . add 12

6 < x < 51 . . . . . . . . divide by 2

Possible values of x are between 6 and 51.
