Question

Can I get some help on this problem? Sorta urgent! :)

Answer 1

∠ 1 = 85° and ∠ 2 = 5°

Explanation:

See the given figure attached.

Here, ∠ 1 = 5x and ∠ 2 = x - 12.

Now, ∠ 1 and ∠ 2 together form 90°.

So, 5x + x - 12 = 90

⇒ 6x = 102

⇒ x = 17

Therefore, ∠ 1 = 5x = 5(17) = 85° and

∠ 2 = x - 12 = 17 - 12 = 5° (Answer)
