En el triángulo, calcular el ángulo x dado que uno de los ángulos es 32º 30' y hay un ángulo recto.

Solution

The image shows a right triangle with a right angle and two other angles provided: one is 323032^\circ 30' and we are asked to calculate the angle xx.

In any triangle, the sum of all the angles is always 180180^\circ. Since this is a right triangle, we already know that one of the angles is 9090^\circ.

We can apply the angle sum property of triangles:

90+3230+x=18090^\circ + 32^\circ 30' + x = 180^\circ

Solving for xx:

x=180903230x = 180^\circ - 90^\circ - 32^\circ 30' x=903230=5730x = 90^\circ - 32^\circ 30' = 57^\circ 30'

Therefore, the value of xx is 573057^\circ 30'.

The correct answer is A) 57º 30'.
