Math Problem Statement

Find the value of x in the geometric diagram where one angle is 30° and supplementary to angle x°.

Solution

We are tasked with finding the value of xx in the given geometric diagram.

Analysis:

  • The horizontal line contains the 3030^\circ and xx^\circ angles, which are supplementary angles, since they form a straight line. Therefore, we know: 30+x=18030^\circ + x^\circ = 180^\circ

  • From this, we can solve for xx: x=18030=150x = 180^\circ - 30^\circ = 150^\circ

Thus, the value of xx is 150150^\circ.

Follow-up questions:

  1. What are supplementary and complementary angles?
  2. How are vertically opposite angles determined?
  3. Can the exterior angle theorem be applied to this diagram?
  4. What is the sum of angles in a triangle, and how does it relate here?
  5. How do you calculate the interior angles of polygons?

Tip:

In problems involving straight lines, supplementary angles always add up to 180180^\circ.
