Question

The value of x  is _______.

  1. 55°
  2. 11°
  3. 12°
  4. 90°

hintHint:

When the sum of two angles is equal to 90 degrees, they are called complementary angles. For example, 30 degrees and 60 degrees are complementary angles.

The correct answer is: 12°


    When the sum of two angles is equal to 90 degrees, they are called complementary angles. For example, 30 degrees and 60 degrees are complementary angles.

    Here, angleWXZ = 35degree and angleZXY = 4x + 7degree
    If two sides of two adjacent acute angles are perpendicular, then the angles are complementary.
    So, angleWXZ + angleZXY = 90degree
    35 degree plus 4 x plus 7 degree equals 90 degree
4 x equals 90 degree minus 42 degree
4 x equals 48 degree
x equals fraction numerator 48 degree over denominator 4 end fraction
x equals 12 degree
