What is the value of x in the figure? Enter your answer in the box. x = Three lines creating six angles with the top left angle having a square on it indicating a right angle, the top right angle labeled as sixty one degrees and the angle between them labeled as X degrees
Accepted Solution
A:
Three lines creating six angles3 angles on top, 3 angles below
Since the top left angle is a right angle
It means the line that divides the top angles from the angles below is bisected by a perpendicular line. This means the sum of the angles of the top left = 90°
Therefore, x + 61° = 90°
x = 90° – 61°
x = 29°
