Chapter 11.1, Problem 2CYU

To determine

To calculate: The value of x and classifying the pair of angles.

Answer to Problem 2CYU

The pair of angles are complementary and the value of $x={27.1}^0$ .

Explanation of Solution

Given information: Two angles given here are $x^0$ and ${62.9}^0$ .

Calculation:

The angles given form a right angle. So, sum of the angles is ${90}^0$ .

  $\therefore$ The pair of angles are complementary.

We can write,

  $\begin{array}{l}x+62.9=90\\ \Rightarrow x=90-62.9\\ \Rightarrow x=27.1\end{array}$

  $\therefore$ The value of $x={27.1}^0$
