Question

A shelf is built on a wall, as shown below. What is the value of x?

Answer 1

Explanation:

Given:

A shelf is built on a wall. The angles of the triangle are given as (x + 3)°, (2x - 18)° and 90°

We need to determine the value of x.

Value of x:

By triangle sum property, the angles in a triangle always add up to 180°

Thus, we have;

Simplifying, we get;

Subtracting both sides by 75, we get;

Dividing both sides of the equation by 3, we get;

Thus, the value of x is 35.
