Question

What is the value of x in the diagram?
у
X
X-20

Answer 1

Answer:

y= 35⁰

x = 55⁰

Step-by-step explanation:

total angle of triangle is 180⁰

therefore we can equate:

x + (x-20) + 90 = 180

2x + 70 = 180

x = 55⁰

total of x and y is equal to 90⁰ since it is a right angle;

x + y = 90

x = 55⁰

55⁰ + y = 90

y = 35⁰
