Question

Consider the right triangle. What is the value of x

Answer 1

x = 7

Explanation:

The 3 angles in a triangle sum to 180°

sum the 3 angles and equate to 180

90 + 8x + 4x + 6 = 180 , that is

12x + 96 = 180 ( subtract 96 from both sides )

12x = 84 ( divide both sides by 12 )

x = 7

Answer 2

X = 7

Explanation:

180=90+4x+6+8x

84=12x

7=x
