Question

Easy Grade 7 Math

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Angles x and z are supplementary, meaning that they add up to 180.  From the markings on the diagram, angle z and the angle measuring 20 are complementary, meaning they add up to 90. So the game plan is to find out the measure of angle z first, then use that to find the measure of angle x.

angle z = 90 - 20 so

angle z = 70 degrees. And

angle z + angle x = 180.  Subbing in our value for z:

70 + angle x = 180 and

angle x = 180 - 70 so

angle x = 110 degrees
