The two smaller angles, when added together = a right angle, which = 90°. You’ll see them called “complementary angles” (add up to 90°)

So 52 + x = 90
x = 38

Answer:

x=38°

Explanation:

x° and 52 make up a right angle, which is 90°, so for an equation you can do

x+52=90

subtract 52 on both sides and you get

x=38
