Question

Indicate the answer choice that best completes the statement or answers the question. ALGEBRA Find the value of x in each figure. 2) 65° O a. 23 O b. 25 O c. 63 O d. 113

Answer 1

They are complementary angles, so,

65 + (x + 2) = 90°

Solve for x

x + 2 = 90 - 65

x + 2 = 25

x = 25 - 2

x = 23°

Result x = 23

b) The procedure is the same, they are complementary angles.

43 + (x - 7) = 90°

Solve for x

x - 7 = 90 - 43

x - 7 = 47

x = 47 + 7

x = 54 This is the result Letter C.
