Solution

In the given figure, the value of x is 20.

Explanation:

The figure is as follows:

It is given that

∠2 = 90°

Also,

∠1 = (3x + 10)°   ...(vertically opposite angles)

Since, x°, ∠1 and ∠2 form a linear pair.

Therefore,

x + ∠1 + ∠2 = 180° 

x + (3x + 10°) + 90°  = 180° 

4x + 100°  = 180° 

4x = 180°  -100° 

4x = 80° 

x = `(80°)/4`

x = 20°
