Math Problem Statement

If x = 32°, find the measure of the angle in which ?° appears.

Solution

The problem asks to find the measure of the angle marked as ??^\circ when x=32x = 32^\circ. From the provided diagram, the angle ??^\circ appears to be complementary to the angle xx. Complementary angles sum to 9090^\circ.

Calculation:

?=90x?^\circ = 90^\circ - x

Substitute x=32x = 32^\circ:

?=9032=58?^\circ = 90^\circ - 32^\circ = 58^\circ

Final Answer:

The measure of the angle ??^\circ is 5858^\circ.
