Question

∠GHJ and ∠MHJ are complementary. If m∠GHJ=(6x)° and m∠MHJ=18°, find the value of x.

Answer 1

The value of x = 12

Explanation:

Here, we are to find the value of x

If the two angles are supplementary, it means that they add up to be 90 degrees

Thus;

∠GHJ + ∠MHJ = 90

6x + 18 = 90

6x = 90-18

6x = 72

x = 72/6

x = 12
