Question 6(Multiple Choice Worth 5 points) (05.02 LC) What is the value of x? A right angle is shown divided into two parts. The measure of one part of the right angle is 10 degrees. The measure of the other part is 2x 20 40 45 85

Answer 1

x = 40

The angle is a right angle, which = 90 degrees.

2 x 40 = 80

80 + 10 = 90

Answer 2

x = 40

Explanation:

A right angle measures 90 degrees, so the part labeled 2x measures 90-10 = 80 degrees. If 2x is 80 degrees, x must be 40 degrees.
