Question

solve for x

Answer 1

So we know this is a right triangle, meaning one of the angles is 90 degrees. We know that the the three angles of a triangle add up to 180. If one of them is 90, then the remaining two angles must add up to 90 degrees. So the equation will be set up as:\[\bf (x+13)+(x+23)=90\]Now solve for x.
