Math Problem Statement

Find the value of x. Then find the measure of each labeled angle in a quadrilateral, where one angle is x, another is (x - 30), and there is a right angle (90°).

Solution

The problem in the image involves finding the value of xx and determining the measures of each labeled angle in a quadrilateral. Let's break it down:

Step 1: Identifying the angles

  • One of the angles is labeled xx^\circ.
  • Another angle is labeled (x30)(x - 30)^\circ.
  • There is a right angle, which measures 9090^\circ.
  • The fourth angle is also unknown, but we will use the fact that the sum of all interior angles in a quadrilateral equals 360360^\circ.

Step 2: Applying the sum of interior angles

The sum of the four angles in any quadrilateral is 360360^\circ. Therefore, we can write the equation: x+(x30)+90+90=360x + (x - 30) + 90 + 90 = 360 Simplify the equation: x+(x30)+180=360x + (x - 30) + 180 = 360 2x30+180=3602x - 30 + 180 = 360 2x+150=3602x + 150 = 360 2x=3601502x = 360 - 150 2x=2102x = 210 x=105x = 105

Step 3: Finding the measures of each angle

Now that we know x=105x = 105^\circ, we can find the other angles:

  • The first angle is x=105x = 105^\circ.
  • The second angle is x30=10530=75x - 30 = 105^\circ - 30^\circ = 75^\circ.
  • The third and fourth angles are both 9090^\circ (right angles).

So, the angles are:

  • 105105^\circ
  • 7575^\circ
  • 9090^\circ
  • 9090^\circ
