Question

Tell wether the angles are adjacent or vertical. Then find the value of x.

Answer 1

Adjacent means next to each other and vertical literally means vertical, or linearly across from each other. Since angle x is next to the 35 degree angle, they are adjacent angles.

To find x, we know that the little box on the bottom left corner means a right angle, or 90 degree angle. Since we know the other angle's value, we do 90 - 35 = 55 degrees.
