What is the value of x in the figure?

Enter your answer in the box.
x =

Answer 1

We need to do 90-61, which is 29. X = 29, because the base of 61 and the right of the x is equal to a right angle.

Answer 2

x=29 degrees

Explanation:

Both angles shown ad up to a 90 degree angle. We can see this because on the adjacent side there is a box indicating that it is a right angle. The three angles add up to 180, thus if we subtract 90 degrees due to the angle on the left of the y axis, the angles on the right of the y axis must add up to 90 as well.

Since the angles on the right must add up to 90, we set an equation to solve for x:

61+x=90(subtract 61)

x=29 degrees
