Question

Pls help I’m rlly confused. The question says “find the value of x using complementary angels” ty <3

Answer 1

Answer:

x=83. please look below for explanation. if anything isn't clear, please ask

Step-by-step explanation:

so complementary means adding up to 90 degrees in math. in this particular equation, you have to make sure that both (x-18) and 25 add up to 90.

if that other side is 25 degrees, the other side must be 65 because 90-25=65.

so now you have to set those equal to each other like this:

65 = (x-18)    now just solve for x

add the 18 to the other side. the -18 and +18 cancel.

x=83

so to test and to see if that is right, we can do

83-18 = 65

does 65+25 equal 90? yes

therefore, x=83
