Question

The two angles are 60 degrees and (x-20) degrees and formed complementary angles as shown in the picture below. Solve for x.

Answer 1

Answer:

The value of x is 50°.

Step-by-step explanation:

Complementary angles are two angles whose sum is 90°.

One of the complementary angles is, 60°.

And the other is, (x - 20°).

Compute the value of x as follows:

Complementary 1 + Complementary 2 = 90°

            60°            +        (x - 20°)           = 90°

                                        (x - 20°)           = 30°

                                             x                 = 50°

Thus, the value of x is 50°.
