Question

Find the value of x.

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of the three angles in a triangle must be $180$. Since this triangle has a right angle, we know that it is $90$°, so the sum of the remaining two angles must be $90$.

We can set up an equation for the two remaining angles to determine the value of $x$:

$(x + 28) + x = 90$

$2x + 28 = 90$

$2x = 62$

$x = 31$

Answer 2

Answer:

x = 31

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of the measures of the angles of a triangle is 180 degrees.

x + x + 28 + 90 = 180

2x + 118 = 180

2x = 62

x = 31
